By Associated PressBOISE, Idaho (AP) — A U.S. aerials skier from Idaho who was dismissed from the 2006 Turin Olympics after a drunken brawl outside an Italian bar has been cited for public urination. Jeret "Speedy" Peterson, 27, was cited in October in Boise, his hometown. Peterson was found guilty and paid $102 to resolve the misdemeanor, according to 4th District Court records. On Feb. 24, 2006, he was sent home early from Italy for "irresponsible" conduct, according to U.S. Olympic Committee officials. Peterson, who was 10th in a Dec. 20, 2008 World Cup event in China, has had several legal scuffles. He was charged with breaking into an Idaho home in 2005 and stealing weapons. Felony theft charges were reduced to misdemeanor unlawful entry and theft. He pleaded guilty. Peterson couldn't be reached Friday. Copyright 2009 The Associated Press. |
