Malcolm X's daughter arrested on suspicion of forgery and identity theft
The daughter of slain civil rights leader Malcolm X is in jail facing extradition to New York on charges of forgery and identity theft.

Malikah Shabazz , 45, was arrested on Friday night after police were called to a home in Mars Hill, North Carolina, because a child wasn't attending school. Shabazz's 13-year-old daughter is home-schooled.

One on the scene, Madison County Sheriff's Office said investigators found that Shabazz had several outstanding warrants from New York, that include charges for grand larceny, forgery and identity theft, said Chief Deputy Michael Garrison.
