The 18-year-old son of U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert was arrested Tuesday and hit with 22 criminal charges, including several felonies, following a rash of robberies in Rifle, Colorado, an area within the Republican lawmaker’s district.

In a statement posted to Facebook, the Rifle Police Department said officers arrested Tyler Boebert at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday “after a recent string of vehicle trespass and property thefts in Rifle.”

He faces four felony counts of criminal possession of ID documents targeting multiple victims, a single felony count of conspiracy to commit a felony and more than 15 misdemeanor and petty offenses. Some of those misdemeanor charges include first-degree criminal trespass and at least three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Several misdemeanor charges also involve petty theft of less than $300.

Police are not commenting any further on the matter since an investigation into the robberies plaguing Rifle is still ongoing.
