Tina Peters Assaulted

Last night, Tina Peters was assaulted at approximately 9PM MT in La Vista Correctional Facility.

Tina was inside a maintenance closet to fill up a water unit when an inmate approached her in the closet and began striking her in anger.

Tina raised her hands and pushed the inmate away in defense of herself. Per Tina, the camera showed her pushing the inmate away from her out of the closet. She was subsequently handcuffed, shackled, and brought to solitary confinement.

Tina was told she is being charged with Felony Assault for defending herself against an unprovoked attack.
She will be locked down completely for 24-72 hours and held in IDO (the hole) for an unknown period of time. 

As far as Tina is aware, the inmate who assaulted her has not been charged, slept in their cell last night, and will face no consequences. This incident is clearly a targeted attack against Peters. In all likelihood, it is being used as an opportunity to isolate and harass Tina Peters. 

Tina has been warning officials that something like this would happen eventually. She was advised to apply for the Incentive Pod. Tina has applied repeatedly and been denied despite nothing disqualifying her. 

Something is not right at LVCF.

Tina has minor injuries but is not seriously injured as of this morning.

Can you imagine 70 year old Tina Peters being charged ANOTHER felony charge for defending herself?
