At the time of his arrest, Peterson was in possession of nearly $15,000 in cash, camping equipment, four cell phones, credit cards belonging to members of his family, his brother's driver's license, and a map to Amber Frey's workplace.

2. Include one complete horizontal and one complete vertical parking row. Include a maximum of 15 spaces in a row.

3. Measure and sketch the length and width of one standard parking space and one handicapped space (if available).

4. Measure and sketch walkways and stairs next to the parking lot. Include trees and utility poles next to the parking rows and walkways.

5. Include five vehicles parked in the selected rows and measure the vehicles in place.

6. Include a directional arrow and a legend in your sketch.
