The attorney for Houston Astros pitcher Brandon Backe, one of 10 people arrested this month during a brawl at a wedding reception, alleged in a complaint to the FBI that Galveston police violated his clients' civil rights.
Attorney Bob Moen, who represents Backe and six others arrested in the incident, said he met with FBI agents on Wednesday to ensure there is a fair investigation into the incident.
"I have initiated a formal complaint against the officers involved for their actions against the clients I represent for violating their civil rights," Moen told Houston TV station KRIV.
