Earlier this month, at least two of Rep. Lauren Boebert’s neighbors called 911 after her husband reportedly threatened them and ran over a mailbox after at least one of his kids was asked to stop racing a dune buggy on their residential street.
But the sheriff decided not to investigate Jayson Boebert’s threatening behavior. The American Muckrakers group is demanding answers as to whether the Boeberts are getting special treatment.
From The Denver Post:
The apparent inaction drove the head of American Muckrakers — a political group looking to oust Boebert— to ask Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, the local district attorney and the Colorado Bureau of Investigations to investigate the relationship between the congresswoman’s family and the Sheriff’s Office.
“This was clearly a serious situation as there were two 911 calls, five deputies and at least four families involved,” David Wheeler, head of American Muckrakers, wrote in an email asking for the investigation.
Jayson Boebert doesn’t seem to have developed much self-control in the years since he pleaded guilty to exposing himself to a group of young women at a bowling alley and served seven days in jail for knocking his now-wife around.
Clearly, his neighbors are worried about his behavior.
911 CALLER: We just were asking his kids to slow down and he flipped out. … Jayson’s probably drunk … I’m sure he’s loaded to the hilt. Do you know who his wife is? Lauren Boebert. She’s loaded. They all have guns.
The Post noted this, too:
By the time the second neighbor called 911, deputies hadn’t yet arrived. During that call, Jayson Boebert reportedly began to run the second neighbor’s mailbox over in a truck.
“There’s about to be some s— going down here,” the second neighbor told dispatchers. “It’s Lauren Boebert’s jackass husband, Jayson Boebert.”
During the call the second neighbor can be heard yelling at Jayson Boebert.
“Stop, you jackass! Get the f— out of here,” he yelled. “Come on, man. What are you doing? What did we do wrong?”
