The restaurant caught in the crossfire of a biker-gang melee is now being sued by a neighboring restaurant. Waco's Twin Peaks is being sued by Don Carlos Mexican Restaurant for $1 million in lost business and property damages. According to news reports, the lawsuit argues that Don Carlos's more sedate guests were "caught in the crossfire" of the gang fight, as bullets struck cars and police hid on the patio. Don Carlos further claims it was forced to close for three days and is concerned about whether business will rebound at the "former crime scene." Calling Twin Peaks' owner, Peaktastic Beverage, a "grossly negligent" franchise operator, Don Carlos's lead counsel Tony Buzzbee opined, "Twin Peaks didn't just add gas to the fire, it threw the match. Inviting armed rival gangs to a place where alcohol is served is not only unwise, it is reckless. All of the neighboring businesses are damaged, and Twin Peaks needs to be held accountable." —Source: wacotrib.com
