The FBI is looking into the beating of a Navajo Nation man by a former police officer in Farmington, New Mexico. A spokesperson told The Farmington Daily Times that the FBI was looking into the March 17 incident in which Donovan Tanner, 22, was struck in the head and neck at least five times by former officer Dale Frazier. Frazier was fired from his job about a month later and Tanner filed a lawsuit that San Juan County settled for $250,000. The U.S. Attorney's Office in New Mexico would not confirm or deny an ongoing investigation. Get the Story:
