U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s ex-husband arrested on trespassing, obstruction, disorderly conduct charges in Silt incident
Jayson Boebert, U.S. Rep Lauren Boebert’s ex-husband, was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief days after a public incident at a restaurant in western Colorado, according to court records.
Silt Police Chief Mike Kite on Wednesday confirmed in a phone call that three arresting charges — trespassing, obstruction of a police officer and disorderly conduct — were part of an arrest warrant for Jayson Boebert that Silt police had obtained in connection to the incident at Miner’s Claim restaurant in Silt.
Police were called to the restaurant on Saturday night for an incident involving Lauren and Jayson Boebert, Kite confirmed to The Denver Post over the weekend, but Kite declined at the time to describe the incident or any of the accusations.
Garfield County sheriff’s deputies arrested Jayson Boebert Tuesday, according to online court records.
Additionally, Colorado Bureau of Investigation records show another charge, prohibited aiming of a firearm, involved in Jayson Boebert’s Tuesday arrest.
Kite said the assault, firearm and obstruction charges were from a separate Garfield County sheriff’s warrant, and he declined to elaborate on where that came from.
Garfield County jail records show Jayson Boebert was released from the jail Tuesday. His bail was set at $1,000 for the criminal mischief charge and $1,500 for the assault charge, according to court records.
Jayson Boebert told The Post in a short Sunday phone interview that he called the Silt Police Department on Sunday morning and told police he does not want to press charges.
“I don’t want nothing to happen,” Jayson Boebert said. “Her and I were working through a difficult conversation.”
Jayson Boebert ended the interview without answering more questions about what happened.
A political group that opposes Lauren Boebert accused the congresswoman of punching her ex-husband, but she denied that allegation. Police did not confirm that report.
Boebert campaign manager Drew Sexton declined to comment Wednesday on Jayson Boebert’s arrest.
“This is a sad situation for all that keeps escalating and another reason I’m moving,” Lauren Boebert said earlier, on Sunday, in a statement from her campaign. “I didn’t punch Jayson in the face and no one was arrested.”
Lauren Boebert, a Republican who represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, filed for divorce in April, citing irreconcilable differences. The Boeberts’ divorce was finalized in October, after 18 years of marriage. They have four sons and one grandchild.
Last month, Boebert, who faced a serious repeat challenge from Democrat Adam Frisch in 2022, announced she was switching districts and will run in the 4th Congressional District this year to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Ken Buck.

DENVER (KDVR) — The last few days of May will be warm and mostly dry, but the Denver weather forecast does show a steady warming trend through the first week of June.
Highs on Saturday will be seasonal and mostly dry with a stray storm possible. Colorado will return to the low 80s on Sunday and will likely be dry across most of the state.
Denver weather tonight: Partly cloudy and mild
Skies will be partly cloudy overnight Friday. Any lingering showers will dissipate by midnight. Temperatures will remain slightly above normal with lows around Denver in the lower to middle 50s. Winds will be light from the south and southwest.
Denver weather Saturday: Seasonal and mostly sunny
Denver will see seasonally warm highs Saturday afternoon in the upper 70s, though the urban core may crack the lower 80s. An isolated storm or two may fire up in the afternoon north of Interstate 76 and the high country, but most of Colorado will remain dry.
Looking ahead: Warming to start June
Monday is the first day of June. Temperatures will be in the low 80s with a better chance for afternoon showers and storms. Winds will also be a bit breezy. The metro area will continue to warm Tuesday and Wednesday into the mid-80s. Both days have a chance for storms, but Tuesday will have a better setup for storms.
Denver will be drier the second half of the workweek as temperatures climb into the mid-80s. Next weekend may see highs back in the upper 80s. That’s not record-breaking, but quite warm for early June by about 10 degrees.
Von Miller has made it abundantly clear that he would like to return to the Denver Broncos and finish his career where it started. Miller has made that fact known at every possible opportunity, including a Von’s Vision charity event on Wednesday.
“I would love to bring back those Super Bowl 50 vibes, love to assist, to be the vice president to Bo Nix, to Courtland Sutton,” Miller said. “I’ve been the guy and also I’ve been the vice president as well. I would love to contribute to us getting back to the glory land, to holding up that trophy.”
Miller went on to note that he has lobbied coach Sean Payton to sign him (Payton coached Miller at a flag football tournament earlier this year).
Unfortunately for Miller, it sounds like there are no plans for a potential reunion with his old club. The Denver Post‘s Luca Evans reported that “as of last week,” there have been no talks between the Broncos and Miller’s representatives about a potential contract.
With a crowded outside linebacker room, Denver seems unlikely to re-sign Miller, but the 37-year-old pass rusher said he will “for sure” play in 2026. After totaling nine sacks with the Washington Commanders last fall, Miller will probably be able to find a home as a rotational pass rusher, but it might not be with the Broncos.
