Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's son Tyler charged with child abuse over incident with her grandson
's eldest son Tyler Boebert is facing a misdemeanor charge of child abuse after an incident with the congresswoman's grandson.
Tyler, 20, was cited on July 11, and the charge he is facing relates to criminal negligence where no death or injury occurred, according to documents from the Windsor Police Department obtained by Westworld.
Congresswoman Boebert called incident as 'a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house,' the outlet said.
The MAGA firebrand said her son's latest run-in with the law was a 'one-time incident,' and that the Boebert family have met with Child Protective Services.
Tyler welcomed a son in June 2023 when he was a teenager, making Boebert a grandmother at the age of 36.
This is not the young man's first time in legal hot water.
In 2024, the son of the congresswoman was charged on 22 counts relating to a string of vehicle break-ins and property theft. His most serious charges were four felony counts for criminal possession of an ID and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Boebert entered a guilty plea in October 2024 to one count of attempted identity theft, a class five felony, as part of a plea agreement. The remaining charges were dismissed.
After a protracted court battle, in which Tyler claimed at one point he could not afford a lawyer, the judge in the case showed the teenager some grace.
Judge John F. Neiley told Tyler during his latest hearing: 'I don't know a lot about you, but I know you are a young man.'
'You were 18 when you committed this offense. You have no prior criminal history, and this is an opportunity you should not squander.'
Tyler was told that if he completed two years of probation on good terms with the court, he could have the charge wiped, allowing him evade a felony on his record.
However, July's citation may throw that good record into the balance.
He is still on probation for those charges as part of the plea deal. It is unclear if the latest child abuse incident this month violates the terms of his probation.
In 2022, a friend alleged that he had been injured because Tyler was driving 'so f***king fast' that he flipped the vehicle in which they were both traveling.
Noble D'Amato then accused the Boebert family of 'covering up' the incident from which Tyler walked with a simple careless driving ticket which was later dropped to a 'defective vehicle for headlights' ticket.
The teen also had to go to court-ordered driving school.
In 2024, Tyler called the police on his own father, Jayson, telling them that he was abusing him - leading to his dad's arrest.
Lauren Boebert is serving her third term as a member of Congress and her first as Representative for Colorado's Fourth Congressional District.
