Rep. Lauren Boebert’s Son Allegedly Stole Victim’s Money Saved For Brain Tumor Surgery

Rep. Lauren Boebert‘s (R-Colorado) son, Tyler Boebert, was arrested on Tuesday for property theft and vehicle trespassing in Colorado.

Tyler,18, faces 22 possible charges. One of the individuals whom Tyler and his friends allegedly stole from was a 33-year-old woman. Tyler and his friends took the woman’s wallet containing $75 in cash, Venmo debit cards and a credit card belonging to her mother. The wallet was taken from the woman’s car.

The woman spoke up, saying she “literally has nothing” left. She claims she was saving money for brain surgery for a tumor. The woman’s ID, also taken, was returned to her without a return address.

Tyler was captured on surveillance footage at a Kum & Go gas station trying to use the woman’s cards. Tyler was identified from the Shooters Grill sweatshirt he wore, the name of the bar that belonged to Lauren.

Tyler has faced legal issues in the past, including a car crash that injured his 19-year-old friend at the time. Tyler is also the father of a child born last year.

Lauren has faced her own legal problems this year. She was caught lying about vaping during a theater performance, for which she had to apologize.

In January, her estranged husband was charged with assaulting her son. Her ex also accused Lauren of slapping him, a charge he later withdrew.
