Tyler Boebert’s father was also arrested in January for allegedly assaulting him
The arrest of Tyler Boebert comes after his father, Jayson Boebert, was also arrested in January for allegedly shoving his son and digging his thumb into his mouth during an altercation at their home in Silt, Colorado. Tyler Boebert called 911 and told the dispatcher that his father was drunk and had a rifle, according to an arrest warrant obtained by The Post.
Jayson Boebert was charged with prohibited use of weapons, harassment, and assault in the third degree for the incident with his son. He was also charged with disorderly conduct, obstruction of a peace officer, and trespass in the third degree for a separate incident that involved his ex-wife, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, at a restaurant in Silt on January 6, 2024.
According to the Silt Police, Jayson Boebert called the cops on his ex-wife and claimed she had punched him in the face in a case of “domestic violence”. However, the police cleared Lauren Boebert of any wrongdoing, as they found no evidence of physical injury or damage to the restaurant. The police said Jayson Boebert was uncooperative and refused to leave the restaurant, which led to his arrest.
