Many in Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's Western Colorado district have been left shocked by two harrowing 911 calls made by Boebert's neighbors following a violent altercation with her husband Jayson.
The call was prompted by a dispute over one of the Boebert's son's unsafe driving of a go-kart that escalated to Jayson Boebert driving over his neighbor's mailbox and physically threatening the crowd that gathered.
Given the Boeberts' obsession with guns and open-carry, the neighbor presumed Boebert was armed and asked for Sheriffs to intervene.
Hear one of the 911 calls below. Be warned that it contains profanity and may be disturbing for some readers.
Since arriving in Congress, Lauren Boebert has cultivated a reputation as combative, belligerent and obsessed with guns, an enthusiasm exemplified by their now-defunct restaurant Shooters Grill, where staff open-carried firearms as part of their uniform.
The 911 calls give a glimpse into just how belligerent the entire Boebert family can be. One neighbor told a 911 operator that even their son was combative when asked to slow down in his go-cart. She told the operator:
“He’s going 50 miles an hour, and this is a residential lane, there’s kids. We tried to stop him, and he just freakin’ cussed at us.”
In the other call, another audibly shaken neighbor could be heard telling the 911 operator that Jayson Boebert was running his mailbox over with his truck "as we speak." He then could be heard yelling at Boebert:
“Stop, you jacka*s! Get the fu*k out of here."
“Come on, man. What are you doing? What did we do wrong? I live here!”
When the 911 operator asked him who he was yelling at, he replied:
"It's Lauren Boebert's jacka*s husband, Jayson Boebert. Yeah Lauren Boebert, the Congresswoman?"
The 911 operator then asked if Boebert was armed, and the neighbor responded:
"I’m sure he’s loaded to the hilt. Do you know who his wife is? Lauren Boebert. She’s loaded. They all have guns. Of course, he owns guns.”
He also described Boebert as "dumb as a post but... so irrational" and said Boebert "got chest to chest, face to face, looking to fight" everyone in the neighborhood who'd gathered due to the incident. He also said he presumed Boebert to be drunk.
Despite Boebert's terrorizing and destructive behavior, the four Garfield County Sheriffs sent to the scene declined to investigate and made no arrests. Sheriff Lou Vallario told The Denver Post that everyone involved "agreed to work it out as neighbors."
As a result, American Muckrakers, the anti-Republican political action committee partly responsible for taking down Boebert's former far-right colleague Madison Cawthorn, has called for the Colorado Attorney General, the local district attorney and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to probe into Lauren Boebert's relationship with the Garfield County Sheriff's Office.
On Twitter, the 911 calls left many people shocked and angry.

Both Boeberts have long criminal histories.
Lauren Boebert has been arrested several times, including for disorderly conduct while impeding the arrest of underage drinkers at a music festival in 2015, during which she threatened to make national villains of police officers via her "friends at Fox News."
Jayson Boebert infamously pleaded guilty to exposing his penis to underage girls in a bowling alley in 2004, and served jail time for domestic violence against his wife that same year.
Lauren Boebert is also under investigation in Colorado for fraud after misusing of campaign funds.
