Suspected murderer Drew Peterson surrendered to Illinois State Police on Wednesday for owning a gun doesn’t meet a length requirement.  The gun charge is a felony in Illinois.

Peterson walked into the police station shortly before 1 p.m. CDT, accompanied by his attorney, Joel Brodsky. He was taken shortly afterward to the Will County jail, where he was expected to post $7,500, or 10 percent of a $75,000 bond, to secure his release pending trial, authorities said.

The weapons charge, a class three felony, stems from the fact that one of the 11 guns authorities seized Nov. 1 in their investigation into Peterson’s fourth wife Stacy’s disappearance is shorter than allowed by Illinois law, according to Brodsky. Specifically, the rifle’s barrel doesn’t meet the 16-inch length requirement.

Brodsky said the weapon in question is an AR-15 semiautomatic assault rifle that Peterson used while he was a police sergeant.

Many suspect Peterson played a role or ‘the’ role in the disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy Peterson.

Either charge him with murder or let him be.  This charge seems like the D.A. is looking for anything to stick to this guy.
