On Monday evening, we reported that Tina Peters was being charged with a felony after a woman attacked her in a closet in prison at approximately 9PM MT in La Vista Correctional Facility on Sunday night.

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

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

A local Colorado news station received a video of the event before Tina's attorneys did and reported it on air on Monday evening.
