Man 'stole' Cybertruck to guard synagogue, Palm Beach Police say
A man who told Palm Beach Police he took a Tesla Cybertruck from a dealership and drove it to the island to "protect" a synagogue is now facing charges, according to police and court records. Ikeen Scott Peterson, 56, of Jacksonville was arrested Nov. 3 on charges of trespassing; driving with a suspended, canceled or revoked license; and operating an unregistered motor vehicle, court records show. He pleaded not guilty Nov. 5 and remained at the Palm Beach County Jail on Nov. 6 after a judge set his bail at $2,000, according to court records. The morning of Nov. 3, synagogue staff spotted the Cybertruck parked in a driveway at the property, police said. When synagogue staff asked the truck's occupant, who was later identified as Peterson, why he was there, Peterson said that he was a security officer "sent there to work," the arrest report said. Synagogue staff confirmed that information was not accurate and called police, according to the report. About two hours later, an officer spotted the Cybertruck parked in the 200 block of Bradley Place. Peterson confirmed he was the person who had been outside the synagogue, and police found that Peterson's driver's license was suspended,
