Drew Peterson Cracks Killer Jokes from Jail

Posted May 27th 2009 1:22PM by TMZ Staff

How's this for disturbing: Accused wife murderer Drew Peterson called into Mancow's radio show this morning to -- get this -- try out a few of his new prison jokes.

Drew tried out his hysterically unfunny material by calling collect from the Will County jail in Illinois, where he's being held on a $20 million bond.

It kind of all makes sense if you think about it... comedians, like jailbirds, are used to a couple of rim shots every now and then.

Will Travolta Help Get Drew Peterson Off?

Posted May 29th 2008 10:49AM by TMZ Staff

Drew Peterson -- the ex-cop who's a suspect in the disappearance of his current wife and possibly the drowning of another -- could be getting some legal help from an unlikely (and unwitting) source: Scientolobig John Travolta.

Peterson's lawyers say that Illinois State Police wanted prosecutors to nab the ex-cop on a weapons violation for carrying an AR-15 assault rifle illegally. But this snap that Peterson took with Travolta in 2000, they say, shows Peterson with the assault rifle while on duty, guarding John while on tour shilling "Battlefield Earth."

Drew could face up to five years in jail if convicted on a weapons charge. His fourth wife Stacy disappeared last year and his third wife drowned in what cops are now calling a homicide. The Illinois State Police couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
