47-year-old Troy D. West of Poulan, Ga. Federal authorities are investigating the beating of a black female Army reservist outside a Georgia restaurant as a possible hate crime. Federal Bureau of Investigation spokesman Stephen Emmett said Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Justice's civil rights division has initiated a probe into the Sept. 9 incident at a Cracker Barrel in Morrow. Police say West became enraged after Tashawnea Hill told him to "be careful" when he nearly hit her 7-year-old daughter while opening the restaurant's door. Police say West punched and kicked the 35-year-old Army reservist while screaming racial slurs.
