Rep. Lauren Boebert's (R-CO) ex husband Jayson Boebert pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment on Wednesday.
Colorado alt-weeky Westword and The Denver Post reported the man had been hit with charges stemming from violet confrontations between him, the congresswoman and their then 18-year-old son Tyler.
One involved a restaurant tussle with his wife and another saw him accused of physically roughing up their son and wielding a rifle.

On Jan. 9, Tyler reported to police that Jayson tossed his phone "across the house" during a disagreement about laying Tyler's baby son "down to sleep," Westwood reported citing an affidavit.
Jayson allegedly "pushed Tyler to the ground and pushed his thumb into his mouth," the papers say. "Jayson had a gun, it was a rifle. Jayson was carrying the rifle."
A subsequent dustup involving Jayson and Lauren took place at the Miner’s Claim restaurant in Silt, Colorado after the two agreed to meet in a public place after an earlier confrontation when the GOP lawmaker went to pick up one of their sons.
At the earlier meet-up, Jayson Boebert reportedly moved "aggressively" toward his ex-wife and she took exception and pushed him away.
Calling her later, he reportedly said he wanted to apologize and that was where things escalated.

In the wake of the clash, a Lauren Boebert aide told The Daily Beastthat Jayson was "being disrespectful," "being an a--hole" and getting "lewd" during their meeting. The man's alleged behavior "revolted Lauren ... but that seemed to make her ex more aggressive."
"Mr. Boebert does take responsibility," Jayson's lawyer, Andrew Nolan, said at court Wednessday, according to Westword.
"He regrets being here, obviously. But most of all, he regrets how this has impacted his relationship with his son, Tyler."
Wednesday's plea came as part of a deal that saw the assault, harassment, prohibited use of a weapon, reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct, trespassing and obstructing a peace officer charges all dismissed.
Judge Jonathan Pototsky sentenced him to six months of unsupervised probation and a $40 fine, plus court costs, according to the Westword.
Meanwhile, Tyler has his own legal woes he's dealing with.
He and three underage friends were allegedly caught on surveillance camera in Rifle, Colorado, breaking into people's cars, taking credit cards and using them to go on a shopping spree.
Tyler, who faces felonies for criminal possession of identity documents, has struggled to retain legal counsel.
