A former Colorado county clerk accused of illegally accessing her election system avoided jail time for a misdemeanor obstruction conviction in another case on Monday.
County Judge Bruce Raaum sentenced Tina Peters to 120 hours of community service and four months of home detention with an ankle monitor for trying to prevent authorities from taking an iPad she allegedly used to video a court hearing. However, the sentence was immediately put on hold while Peters appeals it, The Daily Sentinel reported.
District Attorney Dan Rubinstein said Peters, as an elected official, should be held to a higher standard. Last month, a jury found Peters guilty of obstructing government operations but acquitted her of obstructing a peace officer. Peters gave the iPad to another person, and police were called. Peters got between officers and the man to try to prevent them from taking the iPad. Peters was handcuffed and taken outside without warning, which was captured on police body camera video
