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.

Imagine that. ;)

If I had no idea who they were, I would still look at that group photo and think they all look entirely untrustworthy and make assumptions about them being terrible people. Or that they were a fake family posing for the example photo in a photo frame.

That facial hair. Damn. I'd wager he feels he has something to prove and I can see why.

He’s starting his career as a future Republican presidential candidate early in life. He’s an overachiever 🥹🥹

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

Isn’t there some kind of conservative something or other about women staying at home? Like… to look after the kids etc?

I’m not saying that ‘philosophy’ is correct, but I do wonder if the cognitive dissonance amongst her supports is ringing ever more loudly.

This is the peak level schadenfreude I live for. Into my veins Republicans, into my veins.
