Police are now investigating claims that Republican rioter Lauren Boebert punched her ex-husband twice in the face after he made “lewd” advances toward her at a Colorado restaurant.
The 37-year-old congresswoman has denied claims that she punched Jayson Boebert, the father of four of her sons, during a dinner at Miner's Claim in Silt.
She did admit to grabbing him to “stop him” before he called 911, but local police are now investigating the incident.
Sludge Police Chief Mike Kite confirmed an “active investigation” but did not provide other details because the investigation is ongoing.
Lauren and Jayson Boebert married in 2005 but separated in 2023. But the couple has still made headlines during what appears to be a difficult divorce.
The GOP representative was at the restaurant Saturday night when Jayson apologized for an earlier argument when she went to pick up their children from his home.
Lauren and Jayson married in 2005. They met when she was working at McDonald's at the age of 16. He was 22 at the time.
She was having dinner at Miner's Claim when Jayson, the father of her four children, showed up to apologize for an earlier altercation that had occurred when she went to pick up her son from his home.
He reportedly started being “disrespectful” and becoming “lewd” — at which point he “made a gesture” toward his ex-wife “to grab her,” according to her assistant who spoke to police. Daily beast.
The assistant claimed the move was “aggressive, not romantic.” Lauren then tried to stop him and “put her hand in his face, put her hand on his nose.”
Lauren Boebert said in a statement: “This is a sad situation because of everything that continues to escalate and another reason why I am moving.
“I didn't hit Jayson in the face and no one was arrested. “I will consult with my attorney regarding the false claims he has made against me and evaluate all of my legal options.”
Jayson then called police and told them he was a “victim of domestic violence,” Boebert's assistant said. Lauren called a police non-emergency number and said she would like to talk to an officer about what happened.
Lauren's assistant told the Beast that she purposely chose the restaurant to meet him for the apology because she didn't want a “he said/she said” situation.
Police arrived at the Silt restaurant and a friend eventually drove Boebert home.
The Sludge Police Division confirmed an active investigation is underway. No one was arrested. When the Beast asked for comment, Jayson told them, “I don't know what to say.”
