Show Suit Filed Against Deputy In Fed. Court A suit was filed in U.S. I I District Court Monday against former San Juan County Deputy Sheriff Rudy Cook. Marietta Fatt and Jennie Smith, in a civil action, are asking for $10,000 each in damages for deprivation of rights, humiliation, loss of liberty, emotional stress and degradation charged. The incident out of which the charges arise took place about June 26, 1976. The plaintiffs charge that Cook, with two others they believed to be other deputy sheriffs of San Juan County, illegally arrested them without cause, and that Cook offered them alcoholic beverages and informed in-formed them he was interested in a "party." The suit also asks for $15,000 damages each as a warning to others who may I B commit the same acts. |
