NEW: Republican Mesa County Elections Clerk Tina Peters turned herself in this morning on a misdemeanor charge of obstructing an officer. Booking photo from Mesa County Sheriff’s Office. #copolitics
Peters struggled with and appeared to kick at an officer as law enforcement attempted to serve a search warrant on Tuesday. Prosecutors say Peters used an iPad to improperly record a court proceeding and lied to a judge about it, a potential felony.
Peters faces additional local and federal investigations for the breach of Mesa County’s secured voting systems.
Peters’ allies are calling on law enforcement officers in Colorado to refuse to participate in investigations of her conduct.
Peters, who will appear in court on the misdemeanor charge on March 2, is running for re-election and continues to have the support of the @cologop.
UPDATE: Mesa County Sheriff's Office clarifies that Clerk Peters was booked on *TWO* misdemeanor charges, not one. Obstructing a Peace Officer M2 and Obstructing Government Operations M3. Second charge was added by prosecutors, per MCSO.

NEW: An arrest warrant has been issued for Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters for a misdemeanor charge of Obstructing a Peace Officer. This is in addition to the felony investigation that prompted the confrontation. #copolitics
The affidavit in support of the arrest warrant says Peters interfered with officers and attempted to kick an officer, striking her Taser and magazine pouch on her belt. "I told the suspect, 'Do not kick! Do you understand!?'" an officer recounted.
The affidavit says Peters was resisting and going limp. This is seen on a video of the incident where an officer tells Peters, "Stand up like an adult." Peters responded, "Shut up! What an asshole thing to say to me."

NEW: @AdamsCoSheriff says it's done answering questions about the Sheriff livestreaming a pursuit. ACSO told @Marshall9News and @SteveStaeger to "spend time focusing on the great work being done by law enforcement officers" 9news.com/article/news/l…
@AdamsCoSheriff @Marshall9News @SteveStaeger A key unanswered question: Who was riding along with Adams County Sheriff Rick Reigenborn (D) and livestreaming the pursuit when the sheriff chose to continue giving chase when other officers called it off due to safety concerns?
Reigenborn, who is running for re-election this year, was too busy for an interview, according to spokesman Sgt. Adam Sherman.

NEW: Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters (R) was arrested this morning by Grand Junction Police. Officers were responding to a request to assist local prosecutors on an investigation. Peters was released on scene and charges are pending, per police. #copolitics
Officers were serving a warrant to seize Clerk Peters' iPad on which she is suspected of improperly recording a court hearing involving her deputy clerk Belinda Knisley after a judge prohibited recording in the courtroom. It's the white iPad in the courtroom image below.
Clerk Peters denied to the judge that she was recording the hearing but an arrest warrant says "the iPadOS “camera” application was open, distinguishable with the red record button" and that an observer "saw that the view in the viewfinder was a live view of the
courtroom"

NEW: DougCo's School Board president said today that Superintendent Corey Wise was fired, in part, for not quashing rumors that the board gutted the equity policy. Today, a PAC backing the conservative majority appeared on FOX News and praised them for gutting the equity policy.
Background: Last month, the newly-elected conservative majority on the DougCo school board recommended changes to an equity policy implemented by the prior progressive majority board. Educators within the district pushed back strongly. 9news.com/article/news/e…
Board President Mike Peterson told KOA Radio today that the equity policy remains "exactly intact." (That's correct. The changes are directed at a future date.) Peterson blamed Superintendent Corey Wise for not defending the board's decision on the equity policy.
