On Monday, April 10, Representative Lauren Boebert’s eldest son, Tyler, was supposed to appear in court for a mandatory review hearing related to a September 2022 car crash that left a friend hospitalized and led to a misdemeanor charge of “careless driving causing bodily harm.”
It would have been the last pit stop on Tyler’s months-long road of legal drama, with the hearing centering on an order to attend the state’s “Alive at 25” driver awareness program. Prosecutors in Glenwood Springs had dropped his case down to a “defective vehicle for headlights” ticket in a plea deall
Asked why Tyler didn’t show up to court, a spokesperson for Representative Boebert didn’t provide an answer. An emailed statement did not reference the 2022 crash, but did include comments about President Joe Biden’s son and Westword‘s original piece.
“If you want to write a hit piece on a politician’s son, go after Hunter Biden,” the spokesperson said. “Congresswoman Boebert’s children are not public figures, and they never sought to profit off of her public service. They are just trying to live their normal lives, and it would be nice if liberal reporters allowed them to do so. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden made $83,000 per month as a member of Burisma’s board, all in an effort for him to profit off of his dad’s position as Vice President.”

Court no-shows apparently run in the family.
According to court records, Lauren Bobert has received a summons or been arrested at least four times in the past decade. A 2016 careless driving incident resulted in her being tossed in jail for approximately 100 minutes for failing to appear in court, according to the Denver Post.
In 2015, Boebert got hit with a disorderly conduct charge related to an incident at a music festival near Grand Junction, then missed her court date.
