A woman is “lucky to be alive,” after she was beaten for more than eight hours in a car by a man with whom she had been romantically involved.
Police booked Timothy James Peterson, 35, of West Jordan, into the Salt Lake County jail Saturday on suspicion of holding the woman against her will and assaulting her.
About 3:15 a.m. on Oct. 1, an officer saw a vehicle — which was registered to Peterson and his family — in a parking lot of Wardel Regional Park, about 14000 South and 2700 West in Bluffdale, after the park was closed, according to a probable cause statement filed with the Salt Lake County jail.
