Drew Peterson arrested for murdering his third wife

CHICAGO – A former Illinois police officer suspected in his wife’s disappearance may have a new job — on a TV reality show set in a Nevada brothel.

Drew Peterson says he’s considering an offer to appear as an employee at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch near Reno for an HBO adult series called “Cathouse.”

Peterson publicist Glenn Selig says there would be nothing wrong with the role for the former police sergeant in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook.

Selig points out that Peterson hasn’t been charged in Stacy Peterson’s 2007 disappearance and that brothels are legal in Nevada.

A similar offer didn’t work out for ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. He faces federal corruption charges and a judge wouldn’t let him leave the country for a reality show taped in Costa Rica.

Update: 5/07/09

Drew Peterson has been arrested and indicted for murder.

Peterson will likely be charged in the death of Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in a dry bathtub in her home on March 1, 2004. Her death was originally ruled an accident, but was reclassified as a homicide after her body was exhumed for a new autopsy, following the disappearance of Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, in October 2007.
