Lauren Boebert's son charged with child abuse in incident she described as a ‘miscommunication'
Tyler Boebert, 20, the eldest son of the MAGA congresswoman, was cited for criminal negligence where no death or injury occurred, which is a misdemeanor, for the July 11 incident, according to Windsor Police Department records obtained by Denver Westword.
Authorities have not yet shared details about the incident, which the 38-year-old congresswoman brushed off as 'a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of the house.'
In a statement, the congresswoman described her son's legal trouble as a 'one-time incident,' noting there was 'no injury or physical abuse involved.'
Child Protective Services met with the family, the congresswoman added.
Despite this, it's not the first run-in with the law for the congresswoman's 20-year-old son, whose girlfriend became pregnant with his child when he was just 17.
In September of 2022, Tyler Boebert flipped his father's SUV into a creek, leaving the person in his passenger seat with multiple concussions and a severely lacerated hand.
He was ticketed for careless driving. The case was eventually dropped down to a 'defective vehicle for headlights' ticket under a plea deal.
Then, in January 2024, he called the police to report that his father, Jayson, was assaulting him, leading to his arrest. During the incident, the father 'pushed Tyler to the ground and pushed his thumb into his mouth,' according to the arrest affidavit.
A month later, Tyler was slapped with more than a dozen felony charges for a series of thefts from vehicles – and for using stolen credit cards at local gas stations.
Tyler Boebert pleaded guilty last October to a single charge of attempting to commit identity theft and was given a two-year deferred judgment, allowing his felony to be cleared from his record after completing his 24-month probation term.
He was required to complete 80 hours of community service and was banned from using controlled substances. It was not immediately clear whether the most recent citation would be a breach of his probation.
He is due in Weld County Court on September 8.

EU-UK trade deal: Ireland 'not exactly celebrating', minister of state says
Ireland is "not exactly celebrating" the new EU-US trade deal, an Irish minister has said, but added that it provides certainty. US President Donald Trump and European Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced on Sunday they have agreed a US tariff on all EU goods of 15%. That is half the 30% import tax rate Trump had threatened to implement starting on Friday. He said the 27-member bloc would open its markets to US exporters with zero per cent tariffs on certain Richmond, a minister of state in Ireland's foreign affairs department, said the deal "gives us that certainty that has been lacking in the last number of months". Among EU countries, Ireland is the most reliant on the US as an export market."We're not exactly celebrating this, it's not a case that this is a good thing but it's probably the least bad option based on what we were facing a couple of days ago, the prospect of a 30% tariff," Richmond told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster on Monday. "The EU is a tough negotiator but this isn't like any trade deal I have ever experienced before, in my 15 odd years of working on EU trade deals. It is what it is and we move on."He added: "We don't want a tariff war, tariffs are a bad thing. We want stability for businesses and we have that today."Trump has wielded tariffs against major US trade partners in a bid to reorder the global economy and trim the American trade der Leyen has hailed the deal, saying it will bring stability for both allies, who together account for almost a third of global EU's top official described the deal as a "framework" agreement, with further technical details to be negotiated "over the next weeks". Speaking of the pharmaceutical sector, Richmond said there was a "case made" that certain medications would be tariff free. "These are some of the areas we will have to dig into, but absolutely we have a lot to work on," he said. "The pharmaceutical sector isn't just really important to a lot of Irish businesses, it must be said it's really important to a lot of American consumers and crucially patients who rely on these drugs too." 'New era of stability' Speaking following the announcement, Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Micheál Martin said the news of the trade deal is "very welcome".Martin said the fact that tariffs would still be higher than before would make trade "more expensive and more challenging".However, he added that the agreement will bring "a new era of stability" and will "help protect many jobs in Ireland".Speaking to Good Morning Ulster on Monday, former UK ambassador to the US Lord Kim Darroch said: "As an outcome, it's a relief I guess for everyone in the European Union that it's not worse, but this isn't anything for great celebration, this is a backwards step."In 2024, Ireland exported goods worth £60.4bn ($81.1bn) to the commission has the mandate to negotiate trade deals for the entire bloc - but it still requires approval by EU member states, whose ambassadors will meet on Monday for a debrief from the commission.

Delta pilot arrested in front of shocked passengers on flight from Minneapolis to San Francisco after landing into SFO
A DELTA co-pilot has been arrested and cops were reportedly seen storming the cockpit after the passenger plane landed. Around 10 agents, some from Homeland Security, boarded the plane after it landed at San Francisco airport on Saturday. The plane had taken off from Minneapolis airport earlier in the day, as reported by the ABC affiliate KGO-TV. Travelers were preparing to disembark when they saw the commotion at the front of the plane. 'We were all shocked and stunned. What was happening?' one passenger, known as Sarah, said. Sarah documented what unfolded on board the aircraft. "They barged through and stormed the cockpit," she said. "They removed the co-pilot, cuffed him, presumably arrested him." Sarah said the co-pilot was then flanked by officers, walked down the aisle, and taken off the plane. She recalled how the cabin crew seemed bewildered by what was going on. "I looked at him [the pilot] and I said 'What's going on?'" one told the Fox affiliate KMSP-TV. The traveler said passengers were standing up on the plane, a Boeing 757-300, getting ready to grab their bags from the overhead lockers. Another passenger told The San Francisco Chronicle that some of the agents who stormed onto the plane were carrying guns. The traveler said the agents had badges and vests with letters on them. Once the co-pilot was taken off the plane, some agents then re-boarded the aircraft to collect his belongings. A Boeing 757-300 twin-engine jet can carry up to 295 passengers and can travel at a maximum speed of 571 mph. The plane's arrival into San Francisco was delayed due to heavy fog. More than 50 million people passed through San Francisco airport last year. In 2023, the airport was named the 13th busiest airport in the US. "This is an ongoing local investigation with the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office," a Homeland Security spokesperson told The Chronicle. Delta officials are yet to issue a statement. 2 .

French ministers say EU-US trade deal has merits but is also unbalanced
PARIS, July 28 (Reuters) - French government ministers said a framework trade deal between the United States and European Union had some merits - such as exemptions for some key French business sectors such as spirits - but was nevertheless unbalanced. "The trade agreement negotiated by the European Commission with the United States will bring temporary stability to economic actors threatened by the escalation of American tariffs, but it is unbalanced," wrote French European Affairs Minister Benjamin Haddad on X. That view was echoed by France's industry minister Marc Ferracci, who said more talks - which could last weeks or months - would be needed before the deal could be formally concluded. Ferracci told RTL radio that more needed to be done in terms of rebalancing the EU's trade relations with the U.S. "This is not the end of the story," Ferracci told RTL.
