Judge says Peterson guns must be returned

Authorities must hand over eight guns they seized from the home of Drew Peterson after a judge on Thursday ruled the former Bolingbrook police sergeant can transfer ownership of the weapons to his adult son. Peterson has fought for the return of the weapons, seized shortly after his wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in late October, arguing that investigators have had plenty of time to do whatever tests they needed to do. Chuck Pelkie, spokesman for the Will County state's attorney's office, said prosecutors were disappointed with the ruling that gives Peterson 14 days to transfer ownership of the weapons. Peterson faces weapons charges over another gun not part of the judge's order.
