MAGA Rep Lauren Boebert pulled over for speeding in Colorado

MAGA congresswoman Lauren Boebert was reportedly pulled over for speeding in May and then failed to pay her fine on time, causing her case to be escalated to court.

Boebert, who recently won the Republican nomination for the US House in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, was driving on the Vail Pass portion of I-70 westbound in Colorado on May 12, the Colorado State Patrol told CBS.

It was around 10:05 a.m. when she was caught driving 84 mph in her black Mazda CX-50, speeding 19 mph over the 65 mph speed limit.

As a result, the Republican was issued a $174.50 ticket with no other charges on her citation, state patrol said.

Colorado’s Department of Revenue mandates that tickets must be paid offwithin 20 days of the violation to prevent the citation from being sent to court.

If a ticket is more than 40 days old, the department says it can no longer accept payment, and the case will be referred to court.

Court records seen by CBS show that Boebert had her citation referred to an Eagle County court due to a late payment.

Drew Sexton, the congresswoman’s campaign manager, confirmed that the speeding ticket was eventually paid off on July 3.

Sexton also told Westword, a Denver publication, that Boebert had sent a check for the ticket to the revenue department rather than paying it through the online system, but the check somehow wound up being sent back to her.

The spokesperson said it was unclear why she sent a check rather than using the online system.

“I don’t know what happened before the ticket came to us,” an Eagle County court clerk told the local outlet. «She called and said, ‘I have a ticket with a court date and I need to take care of it.’ She contacted the court on July 3 and paid it online.»
