Jayson Steven Boebert, the ex-husband of Rep. Lauren Boebert, has been arrested on charges including assault following a reported physical altercation between the former couple. The 43-year-old was booked into jail in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and released on $2,500 bond. The arrest came after an alleged fight at a restaurant in Silt, Colorado, which was reported to the police. Jayson claims that Lauren punched him during the altercation, but he said he did not want to press charges, while Lauren denied the allegation.
The congresswoman has been in the news for her controversial behavior in the past, including being kicked out of a performance in Denver for disruptive behavior and vaping. Last month, she announced that she will not run for reelection in her current congressional district but instead plans to run in another district.
The Silt Police Department is asking anyone who witnessed the incident or has video footage to come forward. The investigation is ongoing, and no further details have been released at this time. Jayson and Lauren Boebert divorced last year, and this is not the first time their interactions have drawn national attention. They were involved in an altercation at a restaurant over the weekend, and Lauren has denied the allegations made against her. No charges have been filed at this time. The story is still developing, and more details may emerge as the investigation unfolds.
