Rep. Lauren Boebert's Speeding Ticket Escalates to Court Case

The Colorado congresswoman failed to pay a $174.50 fine on time, leading to a court appearance and a plea deal.

Boebert was caught driving 84 mph in a 65 mph zone on Interstate 70 in May.
The unpaid ticket was escalated to Eagle County court after missing the 20-day payment deadline.
Boebert's campaign manager cited a returned check as the reason for the delayed payment.
She eventually paid the fine online and accepted a standard plea deal.
This incident adds to Boebert's history of traffic-related legal issues.
