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.’

      I thought he was under 18 when that happened? — not defending him

        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.”

          Uh huh, sure she was.

          Every time anyone shares information about someone they are dating they lead with unsolicited information of why the relationship is technically legal. It’s how you know the love is pure. \s
