On Feb. 8, MAGA-supporting Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters was arrested and released after she resisted a court-ordered search of her iPad. Peters is suspected of having illegally recorded the court proceedings of her suspected accomplice, Deputy Clerk Belinda Knisley, in a criminal case. Peters and Knisley have been under investigation by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold for their breach of security protocols, compromising the integrity of the Dominion voting machines under their care. Knisley is accused of having illegally accessed Peters computer using Peters’ credentials two days after she was suspended from access to the office for a separate incident.

On Thursday, Peters was forced to turn herself in on a new arrest warrant stemming from an altercation with Grand Junction police officers on Tuesday. Peters was arrested this time and released after posting a $500 bond for "obstructing a peace officer." Business Insider got its hands on the warrant for this new arrest and, along with the video of the arrest, it sheds light on what went down.

In the video seen below, which began as officers placed their hands on Peters to turn her around and try to handcuff her, Peters is resisting arrest. At one point she says they are hurting her and tries to kick backwards at the two officers. She is subsequently taken outside where we can see her, handcuffed, speaking with authorities and another person.

The affidavit fills out a lot of the details. According to the warrant, the Grand Junction officers were responding to a request for assistance from investigators with the Mesa County District Attorney's Office, who were at the bagel shop where Peters and her associates were at the time. Those investigators had been serving a warrant for the search of Peters’ iPad after the judge in her accomplice’s criminal case asked that it be retrieved to check for recordings of the proceedings that Peters denied, but numerous witnesses in court said she was making.

2. We HAVE TO start holding these assholes to account.

Holding them SERIOUSLY to account. No more of this “catch ‘n’ release” or “let’s go east on her” crap.

3. Perhaps 'the word' will spread, among the magats, that their is risk around.
