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.

    $20 says this piece of shit starts bitching about “respecting her privacy”, while telling others how they should live.

    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.’

    Boebert’s family is like Sarah Palin’s family if you sprinkled-in more meth and rape of minors.

    That poor kid.

    As much as my sympathy usually lies with the wronged party (those against whom he has committed crimes) it is impossible for me to believe that having those two as parents is immaterial to their son’s criminal acting out now.

    “An abnormal response to an abnormal situation is absolutely normal,” as the saying goes, and I can’t help but think that’s at least part of what’s happening here: that while Lauren and Jayson Boebert have spent their son’s growing up years off chasing money and power and elected office and doing whatever else they do, that kid has been alternately bringing himself up or staring crazy in the face, depending on who was in the house at the time.

    I feel bad for him, to be honest.

    “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.

    Sounds like her son needs more support than his mother is providing. Sounds like she’s a neglectful mother.
