Here's What Happened to Tina Peters During an Altercation

Over the weekend at La Vista Correctional Facility in Pueblo, surveillance footage shows Peters involved in an altercation with another inmate.

The Colorado DOC confirmed it happened, no one was hurt, and both inmates were moved while officials review the situation.

Peters’ team claims she was assaulted unprovoked, defending herself while filling a water bucket. DOC’s take? Standard safety procedures were followed, and there’s nothing dramatic here beyond two people needing space.

Watching the video, it’s clear this wasn’t a serene moment. There was a physical engagement, but who started it? That’s up to investigators.
