Joseph Beecher Sentenced for Kidnapping at Bloomberg Ranch

News summary

Joseph Beecher, a 51-year-old Colorado resident, was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison following his conviction for kidnapping a woman from Michael Bloomberg's ranch in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. The incident occurred on February 2, 2022, after Beecher was informed by his employer that his services were no longer needed. He subsequently broke into his employer's home, stole firearms, and drove to Bloomberg's ranch with the intent to harm Bloomberg but found only a female employee. Beecher took the woman hostage at gunpoint, forcing her to drive him across locations in a failed attempt to locate another media mogul. They eventually reached a motel in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where Beecher was arrested by SWAT officers the following morning, with the woman unharmed. Beecher was convicted of multiple charges, including kidnapping, carjacking, and firearms violations, resulting in his lengthy prison sentence.
