The Denver Westword reports:
Earlier this year, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was caught on Vail Pass going 84 miles per hour in a 65 mile-per-hour zone by the Colorado State Patrol, leading to a $174.50 speeding ticket and a scheduled court appearance for July 26 after she failed to pay the fine on time.
The House representative didn’t contact Eagle County District Court until July 3 to finally pay off the May 12 ticket, according to the Clerk to the Court’s office, after finding out she had a court date scheduled this month because she failed to pay.
“Tickets that aren’t paid to the state before their twenty-day deadline, they’ll get sent to the court,” a clerk tells Westword. “Her case got forwarded to the court, we opened a case, and she took a standard plea offer.”
Read the full article. In 2016, Boebert was arrested after failing to appear on careless and reckless driving charges.
