Tina Peters found guilty of unauthorized absence during prison scuffle
Snippet:
>Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters has been found guilty of “unauthorized absence” during an incident at the La Vista Correctional Facility in Pueblo, where she is serving a near nine-year sentence.
>An unauthorized absence means Peters was in a place she shouldn’t have been or outside her assigned area. **Peters was found not guilty of a more serious charge of assault,** according to the Colorado Department of Corrections. The charges were first reported by The Denver Post.
>Peters, 70, was involved in a scuffle with another inmate in January. The incident was captured on surveillance video.
>Based on the recording, Peters appears to be the aggressor, although without sound it is difficult to determine the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault.
>A disciplinary hearing related to the incident was held March 10, according to the Colorado Department of Corrections. **The department did not say what punishments, if any, could be handed down.**
>**Peters is estimated to be eligible for parole in November 2028.**
