Ex-deputy charged with negligence in Parkland massacre has to turn in passport or stay in jail.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A former deputy assigned to the Florida high school where 17 people were fatally shot will have to stay in jail for now onBroward Judge Jackie Powell ruled Wednesday that Scot Peterson must first surrender the passport, which is now at his home in North Carolina, before being released on a bond set at $102,000. He must also show the court that he has collateral, such as real estate, before he gets out of jail.
Peterson was the officer assigned to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School but never went inside as the gunman opened fire in hallways and classrooms. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement determined through a 14-month investigation that he"did absolutely nothing to mitigate" the shooting. He said he believes the bond issue will be worked out quickly."Of course, Mr. Peterson expects to be treated fairly just like every other person," he said.
