(KNZA)--A federal grand jury in Topeka has returned an indictment charging a Topeka man with committing an assault on Tribal land.
According to a release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Kansas, 23-year-old Wesley Bennett was indicted last week on one count of assaults within maritime and territorial jurisdiction.
The release says Bennett is accused of assaulting and seriously injuring a member of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation this month within the confines of its Tribal territory.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Prairie Band Potawatomi Tribal Police Department are investigating the case.
