Jayson Boebert “shoved [his son] by placing one hand in the area of his throat/neck and pushing back,” the affidavit says, according to the Post. “(The son) became upset at this point and a physical altercation began between Jayson and him. During the physical altercation, Jayson stuck his right-hand thumb into (his son’s) mouth. While Jayson dug his thumb into (his son’s) mouth, (his son) felt that Jayson was going to pull his tooth out.”

After the fight, the son called Lauren Boebert and the police. The affidavit states that Jayson Boebert grabbed a gun and left the house.

Jayson Boebert faces misdemeanor assault, criminal mischief, prohibited use of a firearm, obstructing a peace officer, trespassing, and disorderly conduct charges.
