Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was granted a temporary restraining order against her ex-husband on Monday after claiming that his ex-partner had threatened to harm her and himself.
Jayson Boebert has “made multiple suicide threats and threats to harm me over the past 14 months,” the congressman alleged in a Garfield County court filing Friday, according to the Denver Post.
Additionally, the Centennial State’s Third District representative alleges that her ex told her via text message that he entered her home in Stilt, Colo., Friday morning without permission to remove her personal belongings and destroy them, outlet reported.
Jayson Boebert told the Associated Press that he went to the house to clean it in preparation for the arrival of his “Grandma.”
The judge’s order could be made permanent at a hearing later this week, and includes protection for the couple’s three young children.
They also have a fourth adult son together and a grandson.

Jayson Boebert was arrested earlier this month following a Jan. 6 incident at the Miner’s Claim restaurant in Silt, where he called police about a Republican firebrand, claiming he punched him in the face, and an alleged fight on Jan. 9 with the couple’s 18-year-old son, Tyler Boebert.
He was charged with third-degree assault, prohibited use of a weapon, obstructing a peace officer, harassment, disorderly conduct and third-degree trespassing.
Lauren Boebert’s restraining order request references both incidents.
In the Jan. 9 fight, Jayson Boebert allegedly stuck his thumb in the teenager’s mouth as if he was “going to pull his teeth out” in a drunken rage before grabbing a gun, according to a police report.
“I’m not going to harm Lauren, I just want to move on and be in peace,” Jayson Boebert told the AP regarding the Jan. 6 incident. He did not comment on the Jan. 9 fight with his son.
He also accused Lauren Boebert of using the restraining order to “sanction” her move to a new congressional district.

Last December, the congressman announced that he would no longer run for his current congressional seat representing Colorado’s 3rd District and instead run for a position in the more Republican-friendly 4th District.
“It’s the right move for me personally, and it’s the right decision for those who support our conservative movement,” Lauren Boebert said at the time.
His office did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
