Lauren Boebert has asked a judge to lift a temporary restraining order against her ex-husband Jayson, admitting today that the couple has come to a “strict agreement.”
The Republican congresswoman appeared in court via Zoom and told a Colorado judge that she no longer wanted to extend the temporary restraining order she filed after she and Jayson had a public altercation at a restaurant in January.
“Jayson and I have come to some pretty strict agreements,” Lauren told Judge Jonathan Pototsky during Monday’s 15-minute hearing. ‘Hopefully these will be followed and we won’t have to follow up again in the future.’
The congresswoman responded “No” when asked if she was coerced or threatened over her decision to revoke the restraining order.

Rep. Lauren Boebert told a Colorado judge she was not threatened or harassed to drop the restraining order against ex-husband Jayson
However, the judge approved a protective order against Jayson regarding son Tyler, 18.
Jayson Boebert was also arrested and charged in January after Tyler claimed his father pushed him to the ground and put his thumb in his mouth, according to a search warrant.
The teen also told officers that his father was armed with a gun.
Judge Jonathan Pototsky said Jayson can have contact with Tyler because the two live together, but ordered him not to threaten or harass the teen.
Jayson Boebert was charged with harassment, prohibited use of a weapon and third-degree assault for the incident involving Tyler.
Jayson, who appeared at the Rifle, Colorado, courthouse on Monday in a dark suit, remained silent during the brief hearing.

Lauren Boebert’s teenage son was arrested in February for a string of car burglaries and property theft. He faces 22 charges
Andrew Nolan, Jayson’s attorney, told the judge he is seeking more evidence, but he added there could be some complications in obtaining information since Tyler could face criminal charges in an unrelated case.
Tyler was arrested in February for a string of car burglaries and property theft. His most serious charges include four felony counts of criminal possession of an ID and conspiracy to commit a crime.
“I think I need to file a motion for specific discovery,” Nolan told the judge. “As the court may know, charges are pending against Tyler Boebert.
“Tyler is the named victim in the third-degree assault case … so we essentially have a Brady/Giglio scenario,” Nolan said, referring to laws that require the prosecution to present evidence to the defense.

Tyler was not present in court Monday, and prosecutors say they had contact with the teen.
Tyler’s arrest in February is not the first for the teenage Boebert, who shares a son with an ex-girlfriend.
In April last year, Tyler’s former boyfriend Noble D’Amato, 19, claimed he was seriously injured when Tyler was driving and threw his father’s SUV into a creek bed.
D’Amato said the incident left him with multiple concussions and a debilitating hand injury.
He also accused the political family of covering it up.

Jayson, 43, and Lauren, 37, married in 2005 and divorced last year.
The former couple had a very public altercation at a restaurant called Miner’s Claim in Silt, Colorado, where Jayson accused the controversial congresswoman of punching him in the face.
The Silt Police have since cleared Lauren of any wrongdoing.
Boebert still represents Colorado’s third congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, but announced she would move her campaign to the state’s fourth district.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com last week, Jayson said his ex-wife offered to withdraw the restraining order if he agreed to ‘certain conditions’.
“I told her I don’t negotiate with terrorists or kidnappers,” Boebert said.
Since then, the former couple appeared to have suppressed their feud.
The congressman asked the judge to stand by the court’s call to hear the outcome of Tyler’s protective order against Jayson.
Nolan said his client had no objection to the protective order as long as the restraining order was lifted, as the father and son still live together.
Jayson was ordered to return to court on April 15.
