Civil rights activist Vauhxx Booker, a member of the Monroe County Human Rights Commission, and his attorneys are calling for the U.S. District of Southern Indiana to convene a grand jury for his case. “There’s been too much feet dragging,” he said. “It’s become necessary that the government steps in.” He said the event that happened a week ago still feels like it’s going on due to the legal system’s inaction.

The FBI is investigating the reported assault of a Black man by a group of white men at Monroe Lake. Vauhxx Booker, a member of the Monroe County Human Rights Commission, said the men pinned him against a tree, shouted racial slurs and one of them threatened to “get a noose” at the Lake over the Fourth of July weekend. The assault was captured on cell phone video by Booker’s acquaintances.
