Scot Peterson files petition to have charges dropped
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Former Marjory Stoneman Douglas High school resource officer Scot Peterson has filed a new motion, trying to get the charges against him dropped. It's no secret that Peterson feels he never should have been arrested for his inaction on the day of the Parkland school mass shooting. Now he's petitioning the court to drop the child neglect, perjury and culpable negligence charges filed against him. This happening as a progress report on safety and security in Broward County schools is made public. Brian Katz, the district's security chief, said school hardening procedures are well on track.
