The victim was able to identify his attacker as “Kenny,” a casual acquaintance, and also provided a description of him. Detectives were able to contact Peters through a number left on the victim’s cell phone. Peters cooperated with detectives and admitted to having planned to steal the victim’s prescription medication, but denied actually taking the pills. Detectives recovered a bag belonging to the victim inside an elevator at the apartment complex which Peters is suspected of stealing.

“This case is not closed,” Flagler County Sheriff Donald Fleming said in a statement Tuesday. “As the investigation continues, Mr. Peters can expect to face additional charges.”
