BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (AP) - Authorities say former Illinois police
sergeant Drew Peterson has been indicted on a murder charge in the
death of his third wife.
The Will County state's attorney's office says the indictment
was issued Thursday in the death of Kathleen Savio. It did not
immediately give details but scheduled a news conference for later
Thursday.
Bolingbrook police say Illinois State Police arrested Peterson
on Thursday. A state police spokesman did not immediately return
phone messages from The Associated Press.
Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, says in an e-mail that he's
on his way to New York and referred messages to Peterson's
publicist, Glenn Selig. Selig says he can't confirm Peterson's
arrest.
Peterson also has been named a suspect in the 2007 disappearance
of his fourth wife, Stacy. He has denied any wrongdoing.
