Two arrested at Nuwaubian compound

EATONTON - Authorities on Wednesday arrested two people from the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors village on charges of transporting minors across state lines to have sex. <br> <br> The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Putnam County sheriff&#39;s department arrested Dwight York and Kathy Johnson, who are charged with transporting minors from Sullivan County, N.Y., to Putnam County to have sex. <br> <br> York, also known as Malachi York, faces an additional three counts of going from Putnam County to Orlando, Fla., to have sex with a minor and transporting minors across state lines to have sex. <br> <br> The maximum penalties for each charge are 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. <br> <br> Television reports showed about 25 to 30 law enforcement vehicles, including federal officers, around buildings on the 476-acre village. <br> <br> ``There is no standoff. There have been no shots fired. Everything is going smoothly,&#39;&#39; said Teresa Slade, administrative assistant to the sheriff. <br> <br> The Nuwaubians claim to be ``true native Americans&#39;&#39; descended from Egypt. From 150 to 200 people live at the compound, which bought by York. York founded the Nuwaubian community. <br> <br> The Nuwaubians have erected two pyramids, a sphinx, numerous Egyptian-style statues, manufactured homes and other structures on the property since moving there from New York in 1993.
