A former New Mexico state officer pleaded not guilty on Monday in connection with the drunken driving death of William Tenorio of San
Felipe Pueblo.
Alfred Lovato was a passenger in a car that struck and killed Tenorio on November 26, 2008. Though Lovato wasn't driving, he is facing similar charges as Carlos Fierro, a former Capitol Hill staffer who was behind the wheel at the time.
Lovato pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide and being involved in a fatal accident. He resigned from the state police department after the incident, which has generated significant media coverage in New Mexico.
Fierro's blood-alcohol content was measured at nearly three times the legal driving limit after he was arrested.
