Drew Peterson, the former police sergeant who authorities call the prime suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, has been indicted on murder charges related to his third wife, the Illinois state attorney's office said.Drew Peterson was arrested Thursday on murder charges relating to his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
Illinois state police said Peterson was taken into custody at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday after a traffic stop near his home. Police had staked out his home all day, said police Capt. Carl Dobrich, but waited for Peterson to leave to arrest him out of concern for his three children, who were inside the house.
Wills County State's Attorney James Glasgow said he believes the case is strong and said Peterson is being held on $20 million bond.
"This is an extremely grave and serious matter and it is reflected in the bond," Glasgow said.
Drew Peterson has been an embarrassment for Chicagoans. For most of us who live in Chicagoland that is convinced that Peterson is as guilty as all hell and have been forced to watch him parade around as a free man and a media oddity, tonight's arrest of the son-of-a-bitch comes as welcome news and a source of jubilation.
We will be watching developments on this case VERY CLOSELY.
