Drunk driver sues friend
James Ruiz filed a lawsuit Wednesday in New Mexico District Court and is seeking monetary damages from the friend he was out drinking with before the crash as well as Applebee's and the Blue Corn Cafe.
According to the lawsuit filed by Ruiz without a lawyer, the restaurants and his friend caused Ruiz "emotional distress" when they served him drinks in 2010. Police say Ruiz rammed his truck into a car and killed two teenage sisters from the Navajo reservation.
He's serving a 40-year prison sentence after entering a guilty plea in 2011.
