ATF agent - Jon Petersen - 42- went on trial in Warren county for an incident that occured on September 16 2002.
In opening statements from his attorney, several teens threatened him that evening and "he was scared" at the time of this alleged incident.
Mr. Petersen is charged with several counts of assualt, O.W.I., public intoxication, intimidation by displaying a dangerous weapon. [The last charge is a felony] At the time of his arrest his BAC was twice the legal limit here in Iowa. [at that time .10]
Agent Petersen had been in charge of the Des Moines office of the ATF but has riding a desk in K.C. since this incident took place. If convicted on all charges, a possible 20 year prison sentence could be imposed. His job status is also in doubt.
Yes, the wheels of justice turn slowly here in Iowa sometimes. But it makes no difference as to your job status.
Six men & women will render thier verdict after ALL the evidence is presented.
