Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, was arrested on multiple charges this week stemming from two separate incidents.
Law enforcement officials in Colorado arrested Jayson Boebert on six criminal charges on Tuesday, including third-degree assault, harassment, prohibited use of weapons, obstructing a peace officer, disorderly conduct, trespassing and obstruction of a police officer.
USA Today reported that the first set of charges stemmed from an incident that unfolded over the weekend at a restaurant in Lauren Boebert’s district in which Jayson Boebert called police and alleged that she hit him.
Upon investigation, police announced on Wednesday that there was no evidence that Lauren Boebert attacked her ex-husband.
Police said that when they arrived on the scene, Lauren Boebert was “cooperative with law enforcement” during their initial contact with her while her ex-husband “was highly intoxicated, yelling at officers, and was uncooperative with the investigation.”
“Although he claimed he had been punched in the face, officers observed no marks or injury on Jayson Boebert to corroborate he had actually been assaulted,” police said in a statement. “Staff at Miner’s Claim restaurant requested Jayson leave the restaurant due to the level of disturbance he was creating. Officers requested Jayson Boebert to leave the restaurant multiple times; however, he was uncooperative and was physically removed from the restaurant by law enforcement personnel.”

Police said that he later recanted any claims of domestic violence that he made against his ex-wife. He was charged with third degree criminal trespass and disorderly conduct stemming from the incident.
The remaining charges that he faces stemmed from a separate incident that unfolded on Tuesday when police received a call from Tyler Boebert, the former couple’s oldest son, who “told a dispatcher that his father had pushed him to the ground, put his hand in his mouth, and thrown his phone across the house,” Business Insider reported. “When Jayson heard the 911 call, Tyler also said that his dad had grabbed a rifle but he couldn’t give an exact description since ‘there was many firearms in the residence and [he] was unable to say what type of rifle it was.’ Tyler also said during the call that he suspected his father was under the influence of alcohol.”
