Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, one of the state’s most prominent election deniers, transferred jails this week due to safety concerns, sheriff’s officials said Wednesday. Peters recently told deputies at the Mesa County Jail that she was afraid for her safety, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office. Mesa County sheriff’s officials said her concerns were investigated and they were confident she wasn’t in any danger, but they still transferred her to Larimer County Jail, more than 300 miles away. Sheriff’s officials said she was transferred “to ensure she can feel secure while in custody.” In October, Peters was sentenced to 9 years in prison for her part in an election interference scheme, where she used someone else’s security badge to give an expert affiliated with My Pillow chief executive Mike Lindell access to the Mesa County election system. A jury found Peters guilty in August on seven of 10 counts, including multiple felony charges, according to court records. Peters was convicted on three counts of attempting to influence a public servant, one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, one count of first-degree official misconduct, one count of violation of duty and one count of failing to comply with the secretary of state requirements, court records show. The jury found Peters not guilty on additional charges of identity theft, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation and criminal impersonation.
