Former Mesa County, Colorado county clerk Tina Peters was convicted on one charge of obstructing government operations but acquitted on a second charge of obstructing a police officer, an outcome that could land her in jail, Colorado Public Radio reports.
Peters was convicted of using her iPad to illegally record a court session in the trial of a former aide. She was acquitted of a charge brought when she struggled with an officer who tried to confiscate the device. She faces up to three months in jail and a $750 fine; her sentence will be in April.
Peters is facing additional felony charges for allegedly stealing confidential data from voting machines in her county and providing that information to an effort back by ripped foam salesman and guy who just wants his Arby’s Half Pound Beef ‘n’ Cheddar Mike Lindell.
