I'd edit the thread title your going to get people excited thinking he was arrest on murder charges not a weapons violation, which is lame and borders on police harassment.

Who cares?
The charge stems from Nov. if they had a problem with it they should have arrested him then not 6 months later.

Maybe just step 1 of a bigger plan. Like NG said Couey was arrested on violation of probation before charges for murder were laid.
She listed many well known cases where it began with baby steps.
Ducks in a row thingy!
I am just glad something is going on

I saw the headline on Nancy Grace and with out listening,rushed to check here. This just gives drew and his "lawyer" more air time and does nothing for Stacy and Kahtleens cases. I can only hope and pray that they have something eles. Though I would love for drew to be put in jail I was really hoping it would be for something far more serious. Now we have to endure another round of poor drew bs. JMO

I am just totally confused. I just googled SWAT team guidelines and all of them say if the weapon is used in a Swat team tactical unit it is always locked and secured in the police department's arsenal and never leaves the premise.
So he has used this same weapon for 10 years and they didn't know it was 3/8 of an inch off? Don't they have paperwork and inventory for each of their weapons? And if they did from day one then he couldn't have altered it.
And how are they charging him if he was a police officer when the SW was done the first of November when the panel didn't accept his retirement until November 15th?
If he wasn't legally supposed to have this weapon at his personal home then who signed the gun out and gave it to him?

Police can purchase a gun and register it as a service weapon. This is what he is claiming he did.
Police are exempt from the length law so there would be no reason to ever measure the gun. In fact, most tactical officers do use shorter guns since it is easier to move around and such.

A lot of what I've been hearing on the news are quotes from Drew and Brodsky. I have to ask myself, should we trust him?
For me, the answer is "no". He's a suspect. Suspect's statements need to be taken with a grain of salt... Or maybe a bucket full.

why are you so upset about this? Doesn't matter when he gets arrested now does it? He broke the law. PERIOD.
They could have arrested Scott Peterson and many other criminals but they wait and sit on stuff and the right time will come. Guess what? Today was the right time

IL law staes that police officers are exempt from the modification laws so the question is what loophole did they find to get a judge to issue a warrant?

BB PD just cleared that all up on Greta and earlier NG .
Maybe you can find the transcipt.
Also on NG they named many high profile arrests that started out with smaller charges.
Someone on NG also said having a felony on him could help regarding his taking the fifth,

It bothers me because it reek of harassment not justice.
The gun was OK while he was on the force and the legality of it wasn't questioned in court as a reason not to return it to DP.
He was never someone that was respected while on the force so I just don't see why he got away with the gun all that time but now that they are going to have to give it back they arrest him.
It looks vindictive and just gives DP more camera time.

I also recall a TH on NG saying they might have done it to keep him from leaving the area.

Holy Heck!
On Nancy Grace tonight - one of the TH's said that if Drew is convicted of this crime - he could lose his $6,000/mo pension.
If he is convicted of ANY crime that transpired during his police duty period --- they can take away his pension.
I will just say IMO on this until the transcript to tonights show is available on her website.
Also, they said that the type of gun drew had -- had to be modified and "sawed off:" to be that short length and the police are denying that -- that was the gun used by Drew when he was part of the SWAT team.

If he had plans to leave the area I could see the timing for the arrest but he has no such plans.. this guy thinks he is teflon (and to date he has been)
The reason for the arrest is clear, the hearing tomorrow about returning the guns.
And why they didn't just tell the judge the gun wasn't legal is the question. They could have kept the gun out of DP hands without causing the media circus that they did today.

Although the AP article says the weapons charge isn't related to Stacy's disappearance, I still wonder if perhaps the BPD/DA believe that weapon might have been used to kill Stacy? Didn't Greta mention a suppressor?

I just watched part of Greta's show.. When she was talking to Sharon. Drew's little game with the car alarms was stupid. Childish even... What a jerk. If he truly wants his "image" repaired, he should stop doing stupid stuff like that.

Did anyone see Greta? While she was trying to interview Sharon, Drew was pushing his alarm buttons on the car and SUV. Making the horns beep and the lights flash.
Sharon went right on with the interview.

Also. Pam Bosco phoned into Nancy Grace and said that the reason the forums on the Stacy Peterson website were shut down had nothing to do with Drew. She said they were getting too difficult to moderate and decided to terminate the boards.
Bosco, also, said that neither the FBI or local police have contacted them regarding Drew and Brodsky's claim that they contacted both to complain about being spied on and "harassed".
IMO again .. until I can get the transcript.

Nothing against you but 80% of the information given on Nancy Grace turns out to be incorrect.
Greta is a bit better on the facts and she even showed where the charging documents aren't correct. (it can be amended but once again they gave DP and Brodsky ammunition to support their point of view,rather than having their ducks in a row to shut them down)

Yes I did, how childish was that?? He also did it a couple of times when the panel was on, and they figured he must have been watching because he seem to respond to them. OMG DP thinks this is really funny, and they are playing some kind of game. I think DP might just be teetering on the brink IMO. Strange.....

Greta mentioned a suppressor, which is the favored term replacing silencer.

That does happen grammybear. I think about Theresa Parker often. Her husband still sits in jail charged. I don't think there is any pending trial yet tho. I really wish he and Drew Peterson would man up and tell where their wives are and end so much pain and heartache.

I wouldn't say 80% but you're right .. there is a lot of inaccurate information... but I think there is a possibility that it is true that they could yank his pension, if he convicted.
You're probably right about Greta having more accurate information but I was just flipping through the channels and was shocked when I saw the banner on NG, so I stuck with it.

IIRC... didn't this have something to do with the gunshot at his home that went through the ceiling of the garage or is this something totally different. I had heard they were trying to bring some kind of charges against him for not reporting that incident or something. Sorry.. I am drawing a half blank about the whole thing.

Hans Reiser was recently convicted of his wife's murder, even though he body was never found.
Skylar and Jennifer Deleon were arrested for the murder of a couple - whose bodies were never found. Jennifer was convicted -- and Skylar will be tried some time soon.
Kenny and Sante Kimes were convicted of the murder of Irene Silverman -- her body was never found.
Diazien Hossencofft and Linda Henning were both convicted of the murder of Girly Hossencofft, -- her body was never found.
There have been plenty of "no body" murder convictions.
There just has to be evidence that the person was murdered and police have enough evidence to convict the person.

That PDF arrest warrant was issued for an incident on November 1st, 2007 .. I think that is when Drew's guns were taken from him. .. but that arrest warrant was signed and issued on May 20th, 2008 day (yesterday).
I think this is arrest warrant is solely based on him being in possession of an illegal gun --- a gun with a barrel that is less than 16 inches long... That's all that is stated in the arrest warrant, at least.

You do know that he loves any attention he can get, even negative attention. I think you'd be better off if you saved your sympathy for someone who deserves it.

Hi Mystry! I remember the gun that was fired through the upstairs bedroom (I think) that went through the floor and into the garage. Stacy had told her sister about it that DP had asked her to go get him a soft drink or something from the garage and then the gun went off not too far from where she was at the time in the garage. DP said he was cleaning the gun and it discharged. I think.

I wonder if that was an attempt by DP to intimidate Stacy? When I first heard that story, I didn't believe the gun went off accidentally while he was cleaning it. I've always felt it was a threatening gesture. It might have been a warning of things to come.
IMO

Hi there Paula----agree that it didn't sound like it was an accident to me either, but my thought was that he was hoping he would get lucky and she would have been gone then---before she had a chance to go to an attorney, or her minister, etc. Of course, he would just be worse off sooner because that would mean two wives of his dead and the re-autopsy would still have happened on Kathleen but there wouldn't be the extra stories from the attorney and the minister maybe----don't know about timeline regarding when that happened versus the gun going off.

Perhaps the police are trying to protect the 22 YO girlfriend, by letting her know how close they are looking at Drew.

Hiya Mamie!
I wouldn't be surprised if LE found something which had led them to suspect this particular gun might be tied to Stacy's disappearance, even though it's been stated as unrelated.
Since Stacy knew what happened to Katleen, and likely kept it to herself for some time before relating it to the minister, I honestly believe that near gunshot miss was a warning and not an accidental discharge.
IMO
