Rifle Police Arrest 18-Year-Old Amidst String of Incidents
The son of U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., has been arrested and charged with 22 counts following a string of incidents in his hometown of Rifle.
Tyler Boebert, 18, was arrested Tuesday and is facing charges that include disorderly conduct, underage alcohol consumption, and reckless driving. Police say Boebert was involved in a series of disturbances over the past several weeks, including a noise complaint and a report of underage drinking at a local park.
Boebert's arrest adds to the ongoing turmoil surrounding his family. His mother, Lauren, has been a controversial figure since her election to Congress in 2020. She has made headlines for her outspoken views on gun rights, immigration, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement, Tyler Boebert's attorney said his client would contest the charges. The attorney also criticized the media for its coverage of the case, saying it had "unfairly painted" Boebert as a bad person.
The arrest of Lauren Boebert's son is just the latest in a series of challenges for the family. In recent months, Lauren Boebert has been criticized for her support of the January 6 Capitol riot, her opposition to vaccines, and her personal conduct. The latest charges against her son are sure to further damage her reputation and that of her family.
