The Florida sheriff’s deputy who refused to act during the Parkland massacre — even hiding in a stairwell at one point — could be stripped of his retirement benefits, should a state lawmaker get his way.

Rep. Spencer Roach (R-North Fort Myers) introduced legislation on Tuesday to remove Scot Peterson’s benefits from the Florida Retirement System, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

The disgraced Broward County cop had been working at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., last February as a school resource officer when gunman Nikolas Cruz came onto campus and started taking out students. The teen managed to kill 17 people — all while Peterson took cover in a stairwell outside.

According to police officials, Peterson knew Cruz was inside Marjory Stoneman’s freshman building, but he retreated.

“He was at the front of that building and he didn’t enter,” explained Max Schachter, member of the school’s Public Safety Commission, at a public meeting last September.

“He could have done something,” Schacter said. “Why did he go away and hide?”

Peterson eventually resigned from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office after facing widespread criticism, though he was reportedly allowed to keep his monthly pension of $8,702.

Roach’s legislation to strip away Peterson’s benefits will be up for consideration during the legislative session starting March 5, according to the Sun-Sentinel. He has been receiving payments since last April.
