WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.
West Lafayette police are investigating allegations that officers cursed at black witnesses while responding to a fight at a diner.
Police Chief Jason Dombkowski says a complaint was filed against one officer over language he used when he responded to the Nov. 2 call at the Triple XXX restaurant. Dombkowski did not identify the officer.
Purdue student Meisha Waters says she was part of a group that became involved in a confrontation with a waitress and was asked to leave. She says a man who appeared to be a security guard grabbed one of her friends and threw her into a window. The fight then spilled outside.
The diner's owner declined comment.
Another witness, Chris Warren, says police focused on black people at the scene and cursed at him when he tried to give a statement.
Dombkowski says police did speak with the restaurant's manager.
