A convicted criminal whose prison sentence was commuted by former President Joe Biden landed himself back behind bars.
Willie Frank Peterson, 52, was convicted of conspiracy to distribute cocaine in 2023, and was sentenced to six years and three months in jail. His sentence began on Sept. 13, 2023, according to court records obtained by Fox News Digital.
Per a Jan. 17 executive grant of clemency, Biden commuted Peterson’s sentence to 20 months, allowing him to leave custody shortly after.
However, Peterson was booked for multiple drug-related offensives in Dothan, Alabama this week. The Dothan Police Department charged Peterson with two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of marijuana.
Peterson was also arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia and three firearms-related offenses, per police records.
In this final days as president, Biden boasted about completing the “largest single-day grant of clemency” on Dec. 12, when he commuted sentences for 1,500 people and pardoned 39 others.
On Jan. 17, he commuted the sentences of nearly 2,500 inmates, primarily those convicted of nonviolent drug offenses. (RELATED: Biden Issues Flurry Of High-Profile Pardons Hours Before Trump Inauguration)
“Today’s clemency action provides relief for individuals who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack and powder cocaine, as well as outdated sentencing enhancements for drug crimes,” Biden said at the time.
“With this action, I have now issued more individual pardons and commutations than any president in U.S. history.”
Biden also issued pardons for his son Hunter Biden as well has other notable public figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Gen. Mark Milley.

Who’d a thunk it?
Biden’s boastful comments about his pardons and clemencies show how delusional he was! He thinks letting criminals roam our streets is a good thing! WOW! What an idiot!
Joe Biden remains in the grip of deep contradictions. His son Hunter’s life and actions pile on to Joe’s own unfulfilled dreams of being a deservedly powerful person. This thematic group of pardons show how severely he is trapped in the tragic shortfalls of his character.
With these pardons it made AMERICA more DANGEROUS and corrupt !!!
Yes, I didn’t understand the rational for More Pardons & Commutations than any other Presidents. Is a competition??
Biden’s pardons and commutations amount to his last act of terrorism against the citizens of this country.
