Judge quashes arrest warrant for indicted Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters after her prohibited travel to Nevada – By Jesse Paul (Colorado Sun) / July 15, 2022
Mesa County District Court Judge Matthew David Barrett ruled that Peters must inform the court and receive permission to travel out of state in the future
A judge quashed an arrest warrant for indicted Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters on Friday that was issued after she traveled to Nevada without permission in violation of her bond conditions.
Mesa County District Court Judge Matthew David Barrett said he was giving Peters, a Republican, a second chance in part because her criminal defense attorney, Harvey Steinberg, took responsibility for Peters not knowing about a court order Monday prohibiting her from leaving Colorado without permission.
“It will not happen again,” Barrett said during a court hearing Friday afternoon. “It will not happen again. She has resources to disappear.”
Barrett ruled that Peters must inform the court and receive permission to travel out of state in the future, but otherwise kept her bond conditions intact.
