However, during the court hearing, a prosecutor who was not identified said that the case involved car break-ins and the theft and use of credit cards allegedly committed with some juveniles.<\/p>\n
The arrest affidavit indicates Boebert is accused of stealing items \u2013 including cash, debit and credit cards, and a driver\u2019s license \u2013 out of at least three vehicles.<\/p>\n
Miller is a lawyer for the state public defender\u2019s office, which does not comment on its cases to the media. She did not address the allegations during the court hearing.<\/p>\n
In a written statement, Lauren Boebert said she loved her son and said he \u201chas been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn\u2019t ask for.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt breaks my heart to see my child struggling and in this situation, especially when he had been provided multiple opportunities to get his life on track,\u201d she said. \u201cI will never give up on him and I will continue to be there for him. As an adult and father, Tyler will take responsibility for his actions and should be held accountable for poor decisions just like any other citizen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tyler Boebert is also the father of a young child who the congresswoman is frequently photographed carrying.<\/p>\n
Tyler Boebert\u2019s arrest comes amid a stretch of personal struggles for the Boebert family.<\/p>\n
The teen\u2019s parents, Lauren and Jayson Boebert, got divorced last year and the congresswoman recently took out a restraining order against Jayson. She has also since moved from the Rifle area to Windsor as she runs to represent the 4th Congressional District. (She currently represents the 3rd Congressional District.)<\/p>\n
Jayson Boebert was arrested in January and charged with assault and other counts in connection with two domestic altercations, including an argument with the congresswoman in a restaurant that spiraled out of control, and a fight with Tyler.<\/p>\n
