Boebert’s Ex-Husband Arrested for Shoving Thumb in Son’s Mouth: Report

Rep. Lauren Boebert's, R-Colo., ex-husband was arrested on Tuesday for shoving his thumb in one of his son's mouth during an altercation, according to reports.

He has been arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor assault, criminal mischief, prohibited use of a firearm, obstructing a peace officer, trespassing and disorderly conduct, according to court records obtained by AL.com.

The incidents happened during the weekend, when the representative and her ex-husband Jayson Boebert got in an altercation at a restaurant in Silt, Colo. — when he accused her of domestic violence, a charge that has now been dropped.

One of the Boeberts' sons on Tuesday called the police to report they had been assaulted by their father.

"During the physical altercation, Jayson stuck his right-hand thumb into (his son’s) mouth. While Jayson dug his thumb into (his son’s) mouth, (his son) felt that Jayson was going to pull his tooth out," the affidavit reads, according to the local outlet.

The son called both the representative and law enforcement.

Jayson Boebert was released on the same day, and said in an interview that he and the lawmaker “were working through a difficult conversation."

A statement from Boebert's campaign on Sunday states she "didn’t punch Jayson in the face and no one was arrested" after the restaurant altercation during the weekend.

“This is a sad situation for all that keeps escalating and another reason I’m moving,” Lauren Boebert said in this statement.
