Tina Peters grabs, shoves fellow inmate in brief scuffle, video shows [View all]

Tina Peters grabbed another inmate’s neck and shoved her during a brief prison scuffle Sunday night, according to surveillance footage that appears to contradict claims from Peters’ defense attorney.

The footage, obtained by The Denver Post on Monday night, shows Peters, an ally of President Donald Trump and former Mesa County clerk, maneuvering a large cart toward a closet through an open room. Peters then enters the closet, with the cart at the closet’s entrance. Another inmate, who appears to be carrying cleaning supplies, then enters the frame and appears to try to move the cart away from the closet door.

As the other woman moves the cart aside, Peters then emerges from the closet, grabbing the woman and shoving her into the middle of the room. Peters has one hand on the woman’s neck and another on her right arm, the video shows. The two then seem to exchange words, and Peters shoves her away.

Peters was sentenced to a combined nine years in jail and prison in October 2024. She was convicted of several crimes after she provided a third party access to Mesa County’s election systems.
