The New York Times reports:
Tina Peters, a Trump loyalist who was barred from overseeing elections in a Colorado county after her indictment on charges related to tampering with voting equipment, was sentenced on Monday to home detention after she was convicted in a separate obstruction case.
Ms. Peters, the former clerk in Mesa County, was given four months of house arrest and 120 hours of community service in connection with her February 2022 arrest in Grand Junction, Colo., on a misdemeanor obstruction charge, according to court records.
According to an affidavit, police officers responded to a local bagel shop where they said that Ms. Peters, a Republican, resisted while she was being searched and was taken into custody. Ms. Peters was found guilty of obstructing government operations. She was also fined $750 and ordered to wear an ankle monitor.

Days before her obstruction conviction, Peters had boasted that “no jury will convict me.” But they did. She’s also facing a contempt charge brought by the local district attorney. Her trial on multiple felony tampering counts is scheduled for August.
Peters appeared on JMG in February when she claimed that the deep state had murdered two relatives of her former employees in order to coerce their testimony against her. In fact, both of those people died in car accidents and neither crash was a hit-and-run as Peters claims.
Last August, Peters crowdfunded a failed recount in her bid to become Colorado’s secretary of state. Despite raising $351,000 with the help of Steve Bannon, the recount still showed her losing the GOP primary by 88,000 votes.
Peters has traveled heavily on the cuckoo QAnon convention circuit, often appearing alongside Mike Lindell.
