Boebert’s ex allegedly assaulted son

Jayson Boebert, the ex-husband of Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., is having a rough start of the year. Days after a reported physical altercation with his ex at the Miner’s Claim restaurant in Colorado, during which he claims to have been punched in the face several times, he's been arrested for an incident said to involve the former couple's 18-year-old son at their home in Silt.

According to The Denver Post, Jayson "shoved his thumb into the mouth of one of their sons during an altercation early Tuesday morning," and was taken in on suspicion of misdemeanor assault, criminal mischief, prohibited use of a firearm, obstructing a peace officer, trespassing and disorderly conduct in connection to this most recent event and the one that happened in the restaurant last weekend.
