Former Colorado County Clerk Tina Peters Sentenced to Home Detention and Community Service

No jail time as such. Wished they would have had deprogramming as part of her sentence.


Former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters, who was indicted last year in a breach of her county’s election system, was sentenced Monday to home detention and community service for a misdemeanor obstruction conviction in a separate case.

Peters was sentenced to four months of home detention and 120 hours of community service with an ankle monitor for her attempts to prevent authorities from seizing an iPad she allegedly used to film a video of a court hearing, according to the Associated Press. She was also ordered to pay a $750 fine, a local NBC affiliate reported.

"We were happy and relieved that the judge did not grant the district attorney’s request for a jail sentence," Harvey Steinberg, Peters’ attorney, told NBC News. The sentence was put on hold while Peters appeals it, The Daily Sentinel reported.
