The State Attorney General's Office is looking into whether it should investigate the recent arrest of an 11-year old boy from the Mille Lacs Reservation in central Minnesota. The boy was a crime victim and missed a court hearing. He was then apprehended, and tribal officials say his treatment was harsh. They think that's because he's American Indian. County Officials say they've done nothing wrong.
