Rep. Lauren Boebert’s son arrested on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges

The son of U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert was arrested by Rifle police around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in connection to a string of vehicle trespass and property thefts in Rifle. 

Tyler Jay Boebert, 18, is charged with four felony counts of criminal possession of identification documents pertaining to multiple victims, as well as one felony count that accuses him of conspiracy to commit a felony. In addition to these felony charges, Tyler Boebert is also facing over 15 other charges that range from misdemeanors to petty offenses.

The arrest adds to a number of legal troubles that the Boebert family has faced this new year, including two incidents on Jan. 6 and Jan. 9 involving Rep. Lauren Boebert and her ex-husband, Jayson Boebert.



The Jan. 9 incident led Silt Police to the Boebert residence regarding an altercation between Jayson Boebert and Tyler Boebert. The altercation involved heavy alcohol use by Jayson Boebert and possession of a firearm. Jayson Boebert was arrested and charged with prohibited use of a weapon, harassment, and assault in the third degree. He was also arrested for a warrant stemming from the Jan. 6 incident on charges which include disorderly conduct, third-degree trespass and obstruction of a peace officer. 

In Feburary, Rep. Lauren Boebert was granted a temporary restraining order against Jayson Boebert.
