It was brought to light that Rep. Lauren Boebert’s son called 911 last year reporting that his soon-to-be-divorced dad, Jayson, was throwing him while abusing him in their Colrado home before calling 911 back a second time to deny the argument ever turned physical.
The Dec. 11 phone call came about 4 months before Boebert, 36, filed for divorce from her husband of 18 years, with whom she shares four sons, citing “irreconcilable difference.”
An audio recording of the calls, allows listeners to hear the congresswoman’s son call police around 6:46 p.m. and tell the dispatcher through sobs that his father was throwing him around the house.
“He called me a psycho, when he’s the” he added, struggling to speak before fading out.
Authorities have not identified which of Boebert’s sons called 911.
The female dispatcher told the boy not to worry and said the police would be at the house shortly. She also asked if there were any weapons in the house, according to the recording.
“I mean, there are weapons in the house, yeah, but I don’t think he’d use them on me,” the crying son responded. “He just does this to me so much.”
He said that he was in the driveway, but that his mom was staying down at the farmhouse because there’s problems with her and his father.
“I’m going down there where he can’t get to me,” he said.
Not even five minutes later, the teen called 911 back and a woman could be heard yelling in the background.
“All I wanted to say is me and my dad were starting to yell. He didn’t really get physical with me,” the teen began telling the same dispatcher before Lauren snatched the phone from him and got on the line.
“Im his mother,” Lauren said to the dispatcher. “OK. There was an argument over dinner. I understand you guys got to come and talk to them.”
“Just to let you know, I have him. We are down at our second house and his dad is at the main house,” Lauren added.
The dispatcher told the Republican lawmaker that she had sent deputies to the address to make sure her son did not need help.
“He doesn’t need help, but yeah, they can come here,” she responded.
Rep. Boebert admitted the family has been through some rough patches to media outlets.
“The safety and well-being of my family are the most important things in the world to me. We’ve had some tough times and heartache. I’ve taken action to ensure there are better days ahead for all of us,” Boebert said.
According to an inside source, police wrote in an incident log that Jayson Boebert got into a verbal argument with his son and told him to go down to the farmhouse to be with his mother. Jayson claims he never struck his son, but said it’s possible the door could have touched his butt on the way out.
Police wrote in the log that the boy, who was clearly upset, said he started yelling at his dad first and his dad wasn’t physical. The teen had no physical marks on his body, and the officer wrote he wasn’t sure why he said that his dad hurt him.
Jayson Boebert was cooperative, and no crime was committed, police concluded.
“He overreacted. We’re back to being a family,” Jayson said after the incident. “When I discipline my kids, I make them do push-ups or run laps. I’ve never hit any of my kids. Every teenage boy is going to want to test the bull. All our sons went through a phase in their teens where they disagreed with me. We’ve gotten over it.”
Last week, the sophomore far-right congresswoman confirmed that she would be separating from her husband.
The two were married in 2005.
“It is with a heavy weight on my heart that I have filed for divorce from my husband. I am grateful for our years of marriage together and for our beautiful children, all of whom deserve privacy and love as we work through this process,” Boebert said in a statement.
A source claimed that Jayson was quite angry when he realized he was being served divorce papers after the official filing on April 25. He even set his dogs on the employee serving the papers. It seems he was intoxicated at the time while cleaning his guns.
“He started yelling and using profanities, and told me that I was trespassing, and that he was calling the Sheriff’s Office. I told him I was leaving the documents on the chair outside of the door, he closed the door then let the dogs out,” the server wrote.
Both Lauren and Jayson Boebert have denied the server’s account of what happened.
Boebert and her husband have had several run-ins with the law, including a couple of domestic incidents when they were still dating.
In February 2004, Jayson was booked on a domestic violence charge against his future wife after he “did unlawfully strike, shove or kick … and subjected her to physical contact,” a spokesman for the Garfield associate county court clerk said.
Jayson Boebert ultimately served seven days in jail for the incident.
Then in May 2004, the couple got into an altercation at Jayson’s home in which Lauren scratched his face and chest and trashed his residence. She was slapped with third-degree assault, criminal mischief and underage drinking charges.
This sounds like fake news to me. I’d like to see the police use their resources on exposing the widespread election fraud that occurred in 2020 & 2022, rather than harassing respected Republican lawmakers like Rep Boebert! Another example of Obama & Biden’s weaponization of the justice system in this country. Shameful!
