MESA COUNTY, Colo. (KREX) - The former Mesa County clerk and recorder - who was convicted earlier this year for her role in election violations - recently transferred facilities.
Tina Peters told the Mesa County Sheriff's Office she was concerned for her safety while incarcerated in the Mesa County Detention Facility.
According to MCSO, all of Peters' concerns were investigated and it is "confident" that she wasn't in danger. However, she was transferred to Larimer County Jail in Fort Collins to guarantee she feels secure while in custody.
She will remain in the Larimer County Jail until she is transferred to the Colorado Department of Corrections to begin her prison sentence at a later date.
