Rep. Lauren Boebert’s 18-year-old son, Tyler Boebert, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon and is facing 22 charges, including several felony charges relating to a string of crimes in her Colorado district.

According to a Facebook post by the Rifle Police Department, the 18-year-old Boebert was arrested after a “recent string of vehicle trespass and property thefts” in Rifle, a town in Colorado’s 3rd congressional district.

According to Garfield County Jail’s records, the younger Boebert is facing four counts of criminal possession of a financial device, four counts of criminal possession of ID documents, and a count of conspiracy to commit a felony.

He’s also charged with four misdemeanor counts of ID theft, three misdemeanor counts of first-degree criminal trespass, and three misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

In addition, he’s also charged with three counts of the petty offense of theft of less than $300.

    Hey guys, be fair. Maybe he was just stealing to support the baby he had with a child who was "over 14, so it wasn’t statutory rape, we totally swear.’

        He was 17. IIRC, it would’ve still been illegal for him to have sex with her if she was 14 or younger, so they were very careful to specify that she was “over 14.”

Her supporters do not care and will make every excuse that they can for it. People who do not like her do not like her because she herself is a piece of shit.

    Not to excuse his criminal activity, but I don’t think it’s really a surprise he’s not particularly… well-adjusted, given who his mother is. I frankly would have been more shocked if I was told he was a functional, well-adjusted, pleasant human being.

      It is possible for someone to rebel against their parents shittiness by being the most upstanding citizen possible.

      Or by becoming an activist for causes that oppose their shitty parent (see Nate Phelps, for example)

      Unfortunately, those are rare examples, but they are possible.

      She’s a 37 year old divorced grandmother.

      You’re essentially correct, there, but slightly off on a couple details. About a month before her divorce finalized, she was kicked out of a musical for vaping and being rowdy with her new boyfriend.

      She split with her husband, ie the guy who exposed himself to her in a bowling alley when she was a minor.

      Also the guy she fucked around with is a registered Democrat who owns a bar that does drag shows.

Who do you want to be brother angryseal? Oh shondra mah hyba, maw heep ah buh macoyata da bah sheenda! You say to the demon! Get behind me Say tuuuhn!”

      I don’t care if she’s fucking the whole town behind closed doors or in places that such behavior is welcome. But she needs to parent better, and if that takes time away from her sex life then so be it.

      But also he’s 18 and has two parents. I’m not going to say it’s all her neglect. He’s an adult. And I wouldn’t be surprised if her parenting more would make it worse. She’s got shit morals

      This brings a good point. When my wife and I were dating, we would go to the back of the theater and she would give me a nice BJ there. She (my wife) and I are by no means evil. I think it’s just a thing you do when you don’t have a house with a private bedroom. But there are adult book stores where that is common place and completely out in the open for people to join in if they want. It’s just the sort of thing that you don’t share at work and don’t do when you are trying to impress others… outside of the adult book stores… I think BJ’s should stay legal to give and receive.

      Being a bad parent on the other hand is completely different. It shows how much you care for the people you love the most and are responsible for. So how can we expect her to do better for people she doesn’t even know?

    “criminal possession of a financial device”

    'Had to look up what is considered a financial device…

    Under 18-5-702 CRS, it is a criminal offense in Colorado to use, possess, or manufacture a blank credit card. Unlawful use of a financial transaction device encompasses credit cards, debit cards, ATM cards, or other financial devices. This crime can be a petty offense, misdemeanor, or a felony.‘’

      Yeah… It sounds like he and his minor friends stole 4+ wallets from various (probably unlocked) cars that each contained someone’s ID & credit cards and at least some of the wallets also had cash.
