VIRGINIA

Governor wants probe

of student's arrest

Virginia's governor has ordered an investigation into a black University of Virginia student's arrest after photos and video of the student's bloodied face went viral.

In a video taken outside a bar early Wednesday, the bloodied student is heard calling the white officers arresting him "racists." Within hours, the arrest became the latest racially charged incident to prompt outrage.

Martese Johnson, 20, a junior, had no criminal record before he was arrested and charged with intoxication and obstruction of justice, according to his attorney.

Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control officers confronted him outside the bar after he was denied entry and decided to detain him, which is when he was hurt, said the department. Officers involved will be on administrative duty as State Police, on the orders of Gov. Terry McAuliffe, conduct a probe. - Washington Post
