The Albuquerque man suffered severe burns to his knees and buttocks after a Bernalillo County Sheriff's deputy forced him to kneel and sit on hot asphalt for nearly half an hour, according to a new federal civil rights lawsuit. The lawsuit filed earlier this month in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque said deputy Chris Starr made Griego kneel on the scorching asphalt during a June traffic stop on a day when temperatures reached 96 degrees in the city. Starr demanded that Griego kneel and sit on the asphalt where he was forced to "literally cook" after a needle was found in his pocket, court papers said. (AP Photo/Courtesy of the Kennedy Law Firm )
