Lauren Boebert given court date for failing to pay speeding ticket
House Republican Lauren Boebert was ordered to attend Eagle County District Court in Colorado after failing to pay a $174.50 speeding ticket in time, according to a Denver publication.
Westword reported that Boebert was clocked going 84 miles per hour in a 65 miles per hour zone by the Colorado State Patrol on May 11 and instructed to pay a $174.50 fine. She was then ordered to attend Eagle County District Court on July 26 after the ticket wasn’t paid off within the requisite 20 day deadline, but has since accepted a plea deal.
Speaking to Westword a clerk at Eagle County District Court said: “Tickets that aren’t paid to the state before their twenty-day deadline, they’ll get sent to the court.
“Her case got forwarded to the court, we opened a case, and she took a standard plea offer.”
