ACCORDING to police, the 18-year-old son of Colorado Republican, Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., was, on Tuesday, arrested after a recent string of vehicle trespass and property thefts in Rifle, Colorado.
In a Facebook post, Rifle Police Department confirmed that Tyler Jay Boebert faces felony counts of criminal possession of identification documents, conspiracy to commit a felony, and more than 15 additional misdemeanor and petty offenses.
“This is an ongoing investigation, no further information will be released at this time.
“All suspects are considered innocent until adjudicated guilty in a court of law,” the department said.
As of Wednesday morning, according to NBC News, the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office listed Tyler Boebert as an inmate in the county jail with no bond amount or release date set.
The arrest of Boebert’s son follows troubles she has faced in the past year with her ex-husband.
She filed for divorce from her husband, Jayson Boebert, the father of Tyler and their three other sons, last year.
She was granted a temporary restraining order against her ex-husband this month after she alleged he threatened to harm her and entered the family’s home without permission.
Her husband, however, told the Associated Press that he entered the home to clean it up in preparation for the arrival of Boebert’s grandmother and accused her of using the restraining order to justify her move to a new congressional district.
Stonix News recalled that Boebert switched to a neighboring congressional district that is solidly Republican in December, avoiding a tough re-election bid in the district she narrowly won against her Democratic challenger in 2022.
Boebert cited family troubles as one of the reasons behind her decision to move from the Colorado town of Silt to Windsor in her new district, saying the move would give her a fresh start following a pretty difficult year for me and my family.
