A war veteran and father of two fellow police officers, Shem and Shaun, Officer Peete is a well liked member of the community, best known for his jovial nature and fondness for animals.

Some years ago while attempting to save a doe from drowning, Officer Peete, himself unable to swim, was rescued by Chubby’s father, an event which spawned a lifelong friendship between the two men.

Every holiday season Officer Peete can be counted upon to dress up as Saint Nicholas for the Krollville Yuletide Time, handing out presents and hot cider to children.
