Lauren Boebert has asked a judge to drop a temporary restraining order against her ex-husband Jayson, admitting today that the pair have reached a ‘strict agreement’.
Appearing in court via Zoom, the Republican congresswoman told a Colorado judge she no longer wanted to extend the temporary restraining order she filed after she and Jayson had a public spat at a restaurant in January.
“Jayson and I have reached a strict agreement,” Lauren told Judge Jonathan Pototsky during the 15-minute hearing Monday.
The congresswoman replied ‘No’ when asked if she was coerced or threatened about her decision to drop the restraining order.

Rep. Lauren Boebert told a Colorado judge that she was not threatened or harassed into dropping the restraining order against ex-husband Jayson
However, the judge approved an order of protection against Jayson regarding son Tyler, 18.
Jayson Boebert was also arrested and charged in January after Tyler claimed his father pushed him to the ground and dug his thumb into his mouth, according to a search warrant.
The teenager also said his father was allegedly armed with a rifle.
Judge Jonathan Pototsky said Jayson can have contact with Tyler since the two live together, but ordered him not to threaten or harass the teenager.
Jayson Boebert was charged with harassment, prohibited use of a weapon and third-degree assault for the incident involving Tyler.
Jayson, who appeared Monday in Rifle, Colorado in a dark suit, remained silent during the brief hearing.

Lauren Boebert’s teenage son was arrested in February for a series of vehicle burglaries and property theft. He faces 22 charges
Andrew Nolan, Jayson’s attorney, told the judge he is seeking more evidence, but he added there could be some complications in obtaining information since Tyler could face criminal charges in an unrelated case.
Tyler was arrested in February for a series of vehicle burglaries and property theft. His most serious charges include four felony counts of criminal possession of an ID and conspiracy to commit a felony.
“I think I’m going to have to file a request for specific discovery,” Nolan told the judge. ‘As the court may know, Tyler is the indictment pending against Tyler Boebert.
“Tyler is the named victim in the third-degree assault case … so we essentially have a Brady/Giglio scenario,” Nolan said, referring to laws that require the prosecution to turn over evidence to the defense.

Tyler was not present in court Monday, according to prosecutors, who have been in contact with the teenager.
Tyler’s arrest in February is not the first for teenager Boebert, who shares a son with an ex-girlfriend.
Last April, Tyler’s former friend Noble D’Amato, 19, claimed he was seriously injured when Tyler drove and flipped his father’s SUV into a creek.
D’Amato said the incident left him with multiple concussions and a debilitating hand injury.
He also accused the political family of covering it up.

Jayson, 43, and Lauren, 37, married in 2005 and divorced last year.
The former couple had a very public argument at a restaurant called Miner’s Claim in Silt, Colorado, where Jayson accused the controversial congresswoman of punching him in the face.
Silt Police have since cleared Lauren of any wrongdoing.
Boebert still represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, but announced she is moving her campaign to the state’s 4th District.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com last week, Jayson said his ex-wife offered to drop the restraining order if he agreed to “certain conditions.”
“I told her I don’t negotiate with terrorists or kidnappers,” Boebert said.
Since then, the former couple appeared to have squashed their feud.
The congresswoman asked the judge to remain on the court call to hear the outcome of Tyler’s protective order against Jayson.
Nolan said his client did not object to the protective order as long as the no-contact order was lifted, since the father and son still live together.
Jayson was ordered to return to court on April 15.
