Law enforcement officials in Colorado announced this week that they have closed the investigation into Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) after her ex-husband alleged that she punched him in the face at a restaurant last week.
Boebert’s ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, called police and claimed he was a “victim of domestic violence” and said that the congresswoman had “punched” him in the face several times at Miner’s Claim restaurant in Boebert’s district on Saturday, according to The Washington Post.
Silt 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,” the statement said. “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 the restaurant had no video surveillance and no witnesses have come forward to provide any sort of a statement or video footage of the incident that substantiates any claim made by Jayson Boebert that evening.

“Furthermore, Jayson Boebert contacted Silt Police to recant any claims of domestic violence,” the statement concluded. “Due to a lack of any evidence, the allegations of Domestic Violence against Rep. Lauren Boebert are unfounded and the investigation into Rep. Lauren Boebert is closed.”
