DENVER (KDVR) — Newly released video shows the moments a Colorado elections official was detained and then apparently tried to kick a police officer as she was being accused of blocking investigators executing a search warrant.
Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters was confronted by police officers this week at a bagel shop in Grand Junction. They were called in for a disturbance on Tuesday morning when investigators with the district attorney’s office were trying to serve a search warrant for an iPad in her possession. Now, Peters is accused of obstructing that search.

Peters is now facing two misdemeanor charges of obstruction of a peace officer and obstruction of government operations. She posted a $500 bond on Thursday.
District Attorney Dan Rubinstein’s office issued a search warrant for “an Apple iPad with a white keyboard case located on or about the person of Tina Peters” on the morning of Feb. 8, KREX reported. The warrant was issued on the grounds that it “would be material evidence in a subsequent criminal prosecution.”
