Charges Filed Against Lauren Boebert's Ex-Husband in Two Domestic Incidents

Jayson Boebert, the ex-husband of Republican U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert, is facing charges of assault and other offenses related to two separate incidents of domestic altercations.

These incidents involve a top argument between Jayson and the congresswoman at a restaurant, which escalated into a chaotic situation, as well as a physical altercation with their son. Law enforcement authorities have confirmed these details.

Lauren Opal Boebert, born on December 19, 1986, is an American politician, businesswoman, and advocate for gun rights. She has been serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 3rd congressional district since 2021.

The disputes have accumulated additional focus on Lauren Boebert, a politician on the far-right who possesses an aggressive approach to politics.

Following the argument that took place at the restaurant on January 6th, Jayson Boebert exhibited offense towards the authorities and had to be forcefully removed the business, as said in an arrest affidavit. Consequently, he now faces charges of disorderly conduct, third-degree criminal trespass, and obstructing a peace officer, as indicated in court documents.

On January 9th, a second incident occurred where Jayson Boebert engaged in a physical altercation with their 18-year-old son. During this altercation, the teen contacted authorities, prompting Jayson to grab a rifle. This resulted in charges of harassment, prohibited use of a weapon, and third-degree assault, as stated in a separate arrest affidavit.

Court documents confirm that Lauren Boebert was not present during the altercation. Despite attempts to reach him via calls and texts, Jayson Boebert did not provide any comment on Friday. 

A court hearing has been scheduled for him next Monday.

Congresswoman Boebert is currently facing her own set of challenges, which include accusations made during the initial Republican primary debate on Thursday night. These allegations suggest that she is engaging in "carpetbagging" by transitioning from Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, where she has resided and raised her family in the town of Silt, to the 4th Congressional District.

Boebert maintains that her decision to run in the new district was driven by the belief that her candidacy in the previous district posed a threat to Republican control of the seat. In the 2022 elections, she narrowly defeated her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch, by a margin of only 546 votes. If Boebert had chosen to remain in the 3rd District, it was anticipated that she would face a rematch with Frisch in November, who had already surpassed her in terms of fundraising.
