The Clute family feels like they are being kept in the dark on criminal charges filed against their son who has mental disabilities. Peter is 17 years old but has the mentality of a 12-or 13-year-old, according to his father, Brandon Brown. Last Thursday, Peter was taken from his special education class at an alternative school by Brazosport ISD police to the Brazoria County Jail. He was charged as an adult with a count of assault of a public servant other than a peace officer or judge. His bond was set at $100,000. Brown said they have not been able to get information about what he is accused of and authorities say they cannot provide it because he is charged as an adult.
