Lauren Boebert’s ex-husband charged following 'unfounded' domestic violence allegations

Three days after US Representative Lauren Boebert's (R-CO) ex-husband called the police alleging the congresswoman physically assaulted him, Jayson Boebert has been "charged with obstructing a peace officer, third degree criminal trespass and disorderly conduct, Silt Police Chief Mike Kite told CNN."

CNN reports:

The Silt Police Department says their involvement in Saturday’s incident started with a 911 call from Jayson Boebert claiming 'domestic violence abuse' and then hung up. An arrest warrant affidavit says they received a second call from Lauren Boebert and a dispatcher reported they heard her say, 'I just touched your nose,' while a man in the background said, 'She punched me in the face.'

When they arrived at the Miner’s Claim restaurant, police said Lauren Boebert cooperated with the investigation while Jayson Boebert 'was highly intoxicated, yelling at officers, and was uncooperative with the investigation.'

"Due to a lack of any evidence, the allegations of Domestic Violence against Rep. Lauren Boebert are unfounded and the investigation into Rep. Lauren Boebert is closed," the police department said in a Wednesday statement, according to the news outlet.
