Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office report that the defendant was transported to the Logan County Jail that evening by officers of the Russells Point Police Department for charges relating to operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

He was then released on bond and reportedly went home to his residence.

Deputies then were contacted about 3 a.m. Sunday on reports that Mr. Peterson had a shotgun at his residence and was making threats.
