Peterson Pal Picked Up By Naperville Police
The friend that Drew Peterson sent into his third wife's house to find her dead body was recently arrested by the Naperville police.
The man who found Drew Peterson's third wife drowned in her dry bathtub was arrested by the Naperville police in connection with battering his brother.
Steve Carcerano, 44, of Bolingbrook was taken into custody March 27 in connection with an incident three weeks earlier near the intersection of Freedom Drive and Warrenville Road.
Carcerano and his brother were together in a vehicle at the time of the reported battery, said Naperville police Sgt. Gregg Bell.
"He put his brother out of the car," Bell said.
Witnesses called police to report the matter and Naperville officers secured a warrant for Carcerano's arrest.
Carcerano is due back in DuPage County court on May 2.
Bell said Carcerano's brother did not suffer any serious injuries in the alleged attack.
Carcerano could not be reached for comment.
The Naperville arrest was his second in that town in less than four years. He was arrested on a drunken driving charge in 2008 and eventually pleaded guilty, according to court records.
Carcerano's ties to Peterson
Carcerano was a neighbor of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio. In March 2004, Peterson told Carcerano to go into Savio's home after he had failed to contact her in several days. Peterson waited outside while Carcerano went in and upstairs.
Carcerano found Savio's body laying dead in her bathtub. After he made the grisly discovery, Carcerano said Peterson rushed up the stairs after him and called out, “Oh, my God!”
Three and a half years later, following the mysterious disappearance of Peterson's next wife, Stacy Peterson, Carcerano and Drew Peterson made the Bolingbrook social scene, regularly showing up in some of the town's hottest night spots, such as Tailgater's.
In my 2008 nonfiction sensation Fatal Vows: The Tragic Wives of Sergeant Drew Peterson, Carcerano explained "it was important for him to accompany Peterson to a bar or restaurant so that he could be 'the eyes' in case 'somebody tries to stick a knife in Drew’s neck.'”
Carcerano was also instrumental in brokering a sit-down between Drew Peterson and a Las Vegas "talent" representative so the two could discuss plans for a reality show, according to two sources.
Peterson and the representative met in Las Vegas just months before Peterson was arrested and charged with murdering Savio. Peterson remains in the Will County jail while he awaits the start of his murder trial.
Carcerano was also the go-between when Drew Peterson made the acquaintance of 22-year-old tanning salon worker Kim Matuska. Matuska later spent the night at the home of Drew Peterson, a disgraced Bolingbrook cop 32-years her senior.
Carcerano knew Matuska from frequenting her tanning salon and introduced her to Peterson, whose wife had been missing for seven months at that point.

Peterson is a dirt bag and any who helped him to feel like a celebrity after Stacy went missing should be ashamed of themselves. All this wreck less behavior, think something's on his conscience???!

What kind of dirtbag pretend "STORY" is this blatant shill piece for a silly writer's self-described "...nonfiction sensation" book that failed to sell very many copies ??
Since when did the Patch want to become part of the Peterson lawsuits against the Will County authorities that are keeping him unlawfully incarcerated ?
Your printing and disseminating of these spurious pieces of titillating gossip are no better than the silly State's Attorney's attempts to get HEARSAY AND INNUENDO allowed at Peterson's upcoming trial - which will end with Will County taxpayers writing a check for Peterson that will make the one they wrote for Kevin Fox look PALTRY in comparison !

I don't know this guy but why on earth is Drew Peterson even mentioned in this arrest? One has nothing to do with the other. Does the press track all of the people who had a connection with this guy, I'm hoping not.

I'll give you THAT much, J.H. - that boiler plate book of yours certainly was "sensational."
In fact, I'd go so far as to call it "sensational-ISM."
(Oh, and this comment WILL be removed, just as soon as Little Joey gets done reading it.)

Hi Dora, I couldn't agree more. One case has absolutely nothing to do with the other. I know a guy who about 15 years ago got a ticket from Peterson, why wasn't his conviction for doing 38 in a 25 mentioned. Obviously they have a connection.

Its just a way to keep bringing Drews name up in connection with bad people just to make him look worse than he really is.

See, you people just don't understand.
Joseph Hosey does not work for Patch. Patch works for Joseph Hosey.

There isn't a death penalty in Illinois, thanks to our Governor.

No Injury, 3 weeks to get a warrant, Kicked his brother out of the Car...
Sounds like a weak case! Is this really worth the courts time?!
John Moreli

So what! If he didnt want his brother in his car, he has every right to throw him out! Weak case, won't go very far in court!

I agree. His car and if he didn't want his brother in the car then so what? Did he push him out while it was moving, then I can see where that would be wrong, dangerous and a crime, but if not then this is just stupid!

Kristine Neumann:::: There isn't a death penalty in this state thanks to malicious prosecutions like the ones Du Page County is well known for! This still doesn't dismiss our stinking governor for being the dumbbell he is!

Tailgaiter's is one of Bolingbrook's hottest night spots? Ever been to Tailgaiter's? Come to think of it though, the Meijer store is probably one of Bolingbrook's hottest night spots.

Just like most of the Drew Peterson associates, this guy's listings on the court docket (DuPage) is plentiful. An upstanding, honorable, decent guy, who happened to be the one Peterson sent in to find his sons' dead mother in a dry bath tub. Peterson sure knew how to pick them.
As to reporting on this character's misgivings, Peterson's lawyer, Brodsky, dragged anyone and everyone through his pig trough who wasn't in his client's corner. He butchered plenty of reputations up to get his point across in the newspapers and media, and would do it again if anyone paid attention to him anymore. They don't.
Carcerano is a prominent witness in the discovery of Savio's body, so he's accountable for his actions as much as anyone else involved. He couldn't keep his mug out of the limelight early in the case, and seems to be catching up now. Although, I doubt this is the kind of notoriety he was looking for. Tough.

In illinois only unborn babies get the death penalty. Planned Parenthood is still open, legally

what's wrong with you people? Drew MURDERED more than one person. yes the piece written here is unrelated garbage, but Drew needs to go into a dark hole until all that's left to do is remove the body.

Where did Hosey study English? "Carcerano found Savio's body laying dead in her bathtub." Is "dead" a noun?
