CHICAGO (AP) – Former police officer Drew Peterson cracked jokes from jail on a Chicago radio show that he called collect.

He called WLS Radio’s Mancow & Cassidy show on Wednesday and offered snippets of a comedy routine he’s working on.

Peterson once proposed a “Win a Date With Drew” contest and offered a jail version called “Win a Conjugal Visit with Drew.” He also joked about prison showers, his legal fees and his “bling” handcuffs, saying humor is how he deals with stress.

Peterson is charged with first-degree murder in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He’s also a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.

He denies wrongdoing.
