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.
