Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, was arrested on Tuesday on misdemeanor charges related to an incident that occurred at a restaurant in Silt, Colorado, on Saturday. The altercation between the two is currently under investigation by the police. Authorities have not disclosed whether Lauren Boebert could also face charges in connection with the incident.

According to Police Chief Mike Kite, Jayson Boebert was arrested for third-degree criminal trespass, obstruction, and disorderly conduct, along with other charges pursued by county authorities. He was released on the same day, as confirmed by jail records. Jayson Boebert has not yet responded to requests for comment.

Details about what transpired at the Miner's Claim restaurant remain unclear. However, Boebert's campaign released a statement on Sunday denying allegations of physical violence and asserting that no one was arrested. Boebert expressed her intention to consult with her lawyer regarding the false claims made against her and explore her legal options.

Previously, Jayson Boebert had informed The Denver Post that he called the police to report the incident but did not want to press charges. He stated that he and Lauren were engaged in a difficult conversation and wished to resolve the matter amicably.

Lauren Boebert, a Republican representative who has served two terms in the U.S. House, recently announced her decision to switch congressional districts and run for a seat representing the eastern side of Colorado. The current district she represents would have posed a challenge in the upcoming election, as a Democratic challenger nearly defeated her in the 2022 general election and has significantly outpaced her in fundraising.

This incident at the restaurant is not the first time Boebert has made headlines for contentious behavior. In September, she and a guest were ejected from a musical performance in Denver due to vaping, singing, phone usage, and disruptive behavior. Boebert later apologized for the incident.

During her time in Washington, Boebert has gained national attention for her assertive style and alignment with the extreme right wing of the GOP. One notable incident was when she heckled President Joe Biden during his 2022 State of the Union address.

The investigation into the altercation between Lauren Boebert and Jayson Boebert is ongoing. Police Chief Mike Kite stated that officers would interview witnesses and request any surveillance footage from the restaurant to aid in their investigation. The Miner's Claim restaurant, where the incident occurred, was closed on Sundays, and attempts to contact them were unsuccessful.

Lauren Boebert released a statement expressing her sadness about the situation and stating that it is another reason for her planned move. She did not provide further details about her relocation.
