The Arrest of Christopher Peet in Miami Beach
Miami Beach, Florida. (WSVN) – A wanted man, Christopher Peet, is back in police custody months after making headlines. The 35-year-old suspect was accused of pointing a gun at Miami Beach Commissioner Joe Magazine in April and had been on the run after his ankle monitor was stolen. However, Miami Beach police confirmed on Saturday afternoon that they had arrested Peet after a theft at a local Walgreens store.
The Terrifying Encounter with Commissioner Joe Magazine
On April 11, Peet reportedly broke into Commissioner Joe Magazine’s SUV parked in the apartment parking lot. Surveillance footage captured Peet leaving the garage, with the magazine closely following behind. Magazine recounted the harrowing experience, stating, “Then he turned around and the gun was already drawn and it was right in my chest.” Thankfully, after a few seconds, Peet left the scene, but the incident left a lasting impact on Magazine and the community.
Repercussions and Continued Crimes
Peet’s arrest not only involved the incident with Commissioner Joe Magazine but also tied him to a series of other crimes and thefts in Miami Beach. Magazine emphasized the severity of the situation, stating, “This man pointed a gun at me. Every morning at home where I live, I go for a walk with my 7-year-old daughter. He terrorized this community for weeks on end.” Despite being under house arrest, Peet was in the news again after being released from his ankle monitor earlier in the week.
