The family of Devin Freelon Jr., said he was beaten by a man with a bike lock after an argument about loud music at the beach at Sterling State Park.

Lee James Mouat, Jr., was charged Sunday with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, felonious assault, and ethnic intimidation. According to authorities in Monroe County, the beating happened around 7:45 Saturday night at Sterling State Park.

The victim, an 18-year-old from Monroe, had three teeth knocked out and suffered a cut on his lip. The victim's family has identified him as Devin Freelon, Jr., and said they were at the park when a man, later identified by police as Mouat, got mad about loud music.

The family said he got angry, called them the n-word, and then went to his car to get a bicycle lock before hitting Devin with it in the face.
