North Reading Man Charged With Shooting Arrow At Teen's Pickup Truck
WOBURN (CBS) – A North Reading man charged with shooting an arrow at a teenager's pickup truck was ordered held on $1,000 bail Monday.
Peter Walk, 54, was arraigned in Woburn District Court on charges of assault and battery and assault with a dangerous weapon.

He later called police and they say they found a compression bow in Walk's house. The arrow was also labeled with the shooter's initials, according to investigators.
Walk later left a note on the truck apologizing.
The note read: "I am very sorry about what happened last night. Please call me so I can pay you for any damages I may have caused you."
He was arrested and ordered to appear in court Monday. This is the first time Walk has faced any criminal charges in his life.
