ST. LOUIS  (AP)  -  A judge has ruled that a wrongful-death civil lawsuit against August Busch IV will remain in southeast Missouri.

Busch,  the former CEO at Anheuser-Busch, is being sued by the minor son of his girlfriend, Adrienne Martin. Martin, from Springfield, died of a drug overdose at Busch's home in 2010.

The lawsuit was originally filed in St. Louis County but then transferred to Cape Girardeau, home of the child's father, Dr. Kevin Martin.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that Martin's parents have joined the lawsuit and wanted to return the case to St. Louis county.
