A Stillwater Area High School graduate accused of murdering a Wisconsin man is being transported from Stillwater to Madison, Wis.
Adam Charles Peterson, 20, was released today from the Washington County Jail. He was arrested at his mother’s home in Grant last week and later charged in Dane County, Wis., with first-degree murder.
He is accused of stabbing Joel Marino to death on Jan. 28. Marino was found in an alley near his Madison home.
Peterson attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison last fall, but withdrew from the university in November. His father said he believes his son suffers from mental illness.
