Lauren Boebert's Son Charged With Misdemeanor Child Abuse [View all]

The Congresswoman's oldest son was on probation after pleading guilty to identity theft last October.

According to records obtained from the Windsor Police Department and confirmed by the Weld County District Attorney's office, Tyler Boebert, the eldest of controversial Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's four sons, was cited on Friday, July 11, by the Windsor Police Department and faces a misdemeanor charge of child abuse.

Details about the circumstances that led to the criminal citation were not publicly available as of July 25. According to a court summons, the child-abuse charge Tyler faces is criminal negligence where no death or injury occurred. Congresswoman Boebert characterized the incident as "a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house."

It's the latest in a string of law enforcement encounters for the twenty-year-old over the past few years. In September 2022, Tyler flipped his father's SUV into a Garfield County creek bed, resulting in his passenger suffering multiple concussions and a severely lacerated hand. He was ticketed for careless driving, with Garfield County prosecutors eventually dropping his case down to a "defective vehicle for headlights" ticket under a plea deal.
