DWI and stayed felony drug case

The court also ordered supervised probation for one year. Records say Peterson must follow the same rules tied to a related drug case.
In that drug file, the court stayed adjudication on a felony fifth-degree controlled substance possession charge. The case was continued. The court set supervised probation for three years.
Records say Peterson must attend a MADD Impact Panel. He must complete a full assessment within 60 days. He must finish any treatment and aftercare that is ordered.
The court barred mood-altering chemicals, including marijuana. The order also bans firearms, ammo, and explosives. Records also list a $500 payment to a local K-9 fund.
