A wise-cracking Drew Peterson arrested in murder of third wife

Former Illinois police sergeant Drew Peterson is set to be arraigned for murder today in the drowning death of his third wife Kathleen Savio after Illinois State Police officers arrested him about mile from his home Thursday evening.
Savio’s body was found in a dry bathtub in their home in 2004. Her death was initially ruled an accident, but later classified as a homicide after a second autopsy was done. Last month, Savio’s family filed a civil suit against Peterson, claiming he caused her wrongful death.
“I guess I should have returned those library books,” a handcuffed Peterson told police as he was escorted out of his home, the Daily Herald reported.
They still haven’t found Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy, who disappeared in October 2007. Best news out of this is that Peterson is being held on $20 million bond and won’t be appearing on The Today Show any time soon.
