The Bureau of Indian Affairs helped an employee with eight drunk driving citations or arrests get a special drivers license, The Albuquerque Journal reports.

The paper says records from the state Motor Vehicle Division show that the BIA helped Lloyd Larson obtain a limited drivers license so he could travel to and from his job. This apparently occurred a month after he was convicted of a driving while intoxicated charge in early 1994.

A regional director in Gallup confirmed to the paper that the BIA helped Larson.

Larson is now accused of involuntary manslaughter for the deaths of two Nebraska couples. He is alleged to have ran his BIA-issue car head on into the vehicle the couples were driving.
