The man's 54-year-old father Thomas Munn, his mother Dawn Munn, 55, and his sisters Kristi Munn, 29, and 18-year-old Kayli Munn were arrested in Borger, 40 miles northwest of Amarillo in the Texas Panhandle. All were booked into the Randall County Jail in Amarillo pending their initial court appearances Wednesday. Jail records list no attorneys for them.
Joshua Munn, 24, was arrested in Melrose in western Wisconsin, about 170 miles northwest of Milwaukee. He was released after an initial federal court appearance in Madison, Wisconsin. The telephone listed for Munn was disconnected and he could not be reached for comment.
All five face several charges, including knowingly entering a restricted area without authorization and disorderly conduct.
