The weapon, along with a ballistic vest and a helmet, were found in a channel near Holiday Drive in Holiday Hills by investigators from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, a release stated.

Scott Peters, 52, is accused of shooting Deputies Dwight Maness and Khalia Satkiewicz with a rifle Thursday, Oct. 16, when they were doing a residential well-being check at a home in the 1300 block of N. East Shore Drive in Holiday Hills. Peter was charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated battery with a firearm against a police officer, and a judge ordered him held on a $1 million bond Friday.

Peters’ case resumes Tuesday.
