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.

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.

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

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

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.
