A Fort Yukon man has been charged with felony assault in an attack that left a man with a seriously injured eye.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (http://bit.ly/1y6CBPT) reports 31-year-old Lloyd James Luke is being held at Fairbanks Correctional Center with bail set at $65,000.
A man told Fort Yukon police Luke broke into his home and began beating him for no reason. A witness backed up his story.
Police say the man was beaten so badly, his eye was swollen shut and its pupil did not react to light.
Luke is also charged with burglary and resisting arrest.
A judge ordered Luke to stay out of Fort Yukon unless a court order is changed.
Fort Yukon is a village of 600 about 145 miles northeast of Fairbanks.
