Interestingly, Tyler Boebert was really easy to identify. "Surveillance footage from the Love's shows Tyler wearing a gray hoodie with the phrase "Grit and Glory" on the front and "Shooters Grill" on the back, according to the affidavit." His mother used to own the "Shooter's Grill" in Rifle, Colorado.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as they say.
Meanwhile, Lauren Boebert offered this statement after the arrest: "I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for. It breaks my heart to see my child struggling and in this situation, especially when he has been provided multiple opportunities to get his life on track. I will never give up on him and I will continue to be there for him. As an adult and father, Tyler will take responsibility for his actions and should be held accountable for poor decisions just like any other citizen."

The felony charges that Representative Lauren Boebert's eighteen-year-old son, Tyler, got hit with on Tuesday, February 27, stem from a series of car thefts in Rifle, where he and some underage friends robbed several people, including a woman with a brain tumor who said she had just $75 "left to her name," according to police.
Investigators say Tyler and his pals were caught on surveillance cameras using credit cards that they swiped from their victims' parked cars at multiple locations on February 19 and February 20, according to their arrest affidavit, which was released by the Garfield County Clerk of Court. Among other places, the cards were used at the Kum & Go in the 100 block of East 26th Street in Rifle and a Love's Travel Stop in Parachute, where Tyler and his cohorts were caught on video.
During police interviews, one of the suspects was identified by another minor as a female whom Tyler "supposedly made a sex tape with," according to the affidavit, with the tape sent around to people they knew.
The crime ring is reportedly made up of three males, including Tyler, and the female. Police have accused them of stealing people's wallets and credit cards and attempting to run up tabs with them. One denied purchase for $717 was made on shein.com, which is an online style and accessory marketplace for independent brands and sellers. Another, for $175, was made at the Kum & Go.
Surveillance footage from the Love's shows Tyler wearing a gray hoodie with the phrase "Grit and Glory" on the front and "Shooters Grill" on the back, according to the affidavit. "Tyler's mother, Lauren Boebert, used to be the owner of the Shooters Grill restaurant here in Rifle, Colorado, hence why the gray hoodie would read out 'Shooters Grill' on the back," the affidavit says.
