A magistrate in Western Colorado ruled Wednesday that the oldest son of U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert could be released from jail a day after the 18-year-old was arrested in connection with a recent string of vehicle break-ins and property thefts.

A 25-page arrest affidavit released Wednesday afternoon says police were able to link the teen to the crimes because he was recorded by a surveillance camera wearing a “Shooters Grill” sweatshirt while with a group allegedly using a stolen debit card.

The since-shuttered restaurant was owned by the congresswoman and her now-ex-husband.

The magistrate’s decision to release Tyler Jay Boebert came as he appeared in court briefly by video from jail, wearing a black-and-white striped uniform.

Boebert’s lawyer, Peyton Miller, told Magistrate Jill McConaughy that prosecutors had agreed to allow him to be released without paying any money and McConaughy agreed to allow that.

Police in the small western Colorado city of Rifle announced Tuesday that Tyler Boebert was arrested in connection with a recent string of vehicle break-ins and property thefts and was facing possible felony charges of criminal possession of identification documents involving multiple victims. He is also suspected of conspiracy to commit a felony.

Tyler Boebert also faces over 15 additional misdemeanor and petty offenses, the police department said in a statement.

Jail records say other allegations he was arrested on include theft of less than $300, criminal possession of a financial device and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

However, during the court hearing, a prosecutor who was not identified said that the case involved car break-ins and the theft and use of credit cards allegedly committed with some juveniles.

The arrest affidavit indicates Boebert is accused of stealing items – including cash, debit and credit cards, and a driver’s license – out of at least three vehicles.

Miller is a lawyer for the state public defender’s office, which does not comment on its cases to the media. She did not address the allegations during the court hearing.

In a written statement, Lauren Boebert said she loved her son and said he “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 had been provided multiple opportunities to get his life on track,” she said. “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.”

Tyler Boebert is also the father of a young child who the congresswoman is frequently photographed carrying.

Tyler Boebert’s arrest comes amid a stretch of personal struggles for the Boebert family.

The teen’s parents, Lauren and Jayson Boebert, got divorced last year and the congresswoman recently took out a restraining order against Jayson. She has also since moved from the Rifle area to Windsor as she runs to represent the 4th Congressional District. (She currently represents the 3rd Congressional District.)

Jayson Boebert was arrested in January and charged with assault and other counts in connection with two domestic altercations, including an argument with the congresswoman in a restaurant that spiraled out of control, and a fight with Tyler.
