Arrest
Peterson was arrested on April 18, 2003, in La Jolla, California, in the parking lot of the Torrey Pines Golf Course, where he said he was meeting his father and brother for a game of golf. At the time of his arrest, Peterson was in possession of the following non-golf specific items:
- approximately $10,000 in cash
- Four cell phones
- multiple credit cards belonging to various members of his family
- an array of camping equipment, including knives, implements for warming food, tents and tarpaulins and a water purifier
- a dozen pairs of shoes
- several changes of clothing
- a T-handled double-edged dagger
- a MapQuest map to Frey's workplace (printed the previous day)
- a shovel
- 2 ropes
- 200 blister packs of sleeping pills
- Viagra
- his brother's driver license and a picture of his wife
His hair and goatee had been dyed blond, although he claimed the lighter hair color was the result of chlorine from swimming in a friend's pool. The pool's owner later testified that, to his knowledge, Peterson had never swum in his pool nor made use of his hot tub.

Famous quotes containing the word arrest:
“One does not arrest Voltaire.”
—Charles De Gaulle (1890–1970)
“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.”
—Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
