Election denier Tina Peters found guilty -- and could be going to jail

[RandySF]

Scandal-plagued Republican former Mesa County, Colorado Clerk Tina Peters has been convicted of obstruction of government operations, reported 9News on Friday.

"Jurors found Peters guilty of obstruction of government operations but acquitted her on a charge of obstruction of a peace officer. She's scheduled for sentencing April 10," reported Janet Oravetz.

"Grand Junction Police approached Peters in a bagel shop in Feb. 8, 2022, to execute a warrant related to her iPad, on which she is suspected of improperly recording a court hearing for her deputy clerk," said the report. "An arrest affidavit says that when officers tried to seize the iPad, people sitting at the table with her started passing around the tablet. Police detained Peters as she allegedly tried to stop an officer from taking the iPad. Video shows Peters yell at and struggle with the officers who detained her." The affidavit claims that Peters then attempted to kick an officer, and shouted when ordered to stop kicking.

The obstruction charge carries a minimum sentence of six months in jail.

1. This is not the main trial for her election corruption that comes in a few months.

This just reflects her obstruction since those charges were filed.

5. It's not gourmet cuisine, but

at least in Colorado it isn't moldy or putrid. My husband has been incarcerated for a while and has been in several facilities and that is consistently so. There is a 4-week revolving menu and really the only repetition on it is that every Friday dinner is cheese pizza. So it may not be exciting but it's also not totally boring.
