Arrest warrant issued after Tina Peters violates bond, again

MESA COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — For the second time this month, a Mesa County judge has signed off on a warrant for the arrest of embattled former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters.

Peters is accused of violating the conditions of her bond again, this time because she violated the conditions of a protection order.

According to an affidavit in support of an arrest warrant, Brandi Bantz, who is now the Director of Elections for the Mesa County Clerk’s Office as Peters faces election interference allegations, told law enforcement she received an email from Peters around 2:44 a.m. on Wednesday.

Peters has an active restraining order that bars her from contacting anyone in the Clerk and Recorder Office.

According to the affidavit, the email from Peters to Bantz and several other people said, “I know you have already by now been advised by the Secretary of State regarding a recount. I am, as a candidate with standing, going forward with that request in select counties. If you have not already been notified, and if you are on the list of those counties for a hand recount, you will be notified to coordinate the day/time that is mutually agreed upon.”

She received grace from the court last week and decided to poke the judge in the eye. Again.

Lock her up.

her walk again. It's like she thinks she is above the law. I wonder where she got that idea.
Also, she needs to cough up $200,000 for her recount. I wonder if she'll hit Mike Pillow up for that?

is above the law. Well she is MAGA, so….. She can’t hit up Mikey because supposedly he is broke or nearly broke isn’t he?

Coaches tell their players that "nothing good is going to happen to you after midnight" in imploring them to respect the team curfew. Likewise, I can confidently say to Tina Peters that nothing you have to e-mail at 2:44 in the morning is worth it.
