A Colorado man is accused of breaking into a ranch owned by billionaire Michael Bloomberg and kidnapping an employee, asking her about the former New York City mayor's daughters, according to an arrest warrant affidavit and a criminal complaint filed in federal court.
Joseph Beecher allegedly rammed his truck through the gate of the Westlands Ranch on Wednesday and kidnapped a ranch worker, forcing her to drive him away in her truck, according to an arrest warrant affidavit filed by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The ranch, in Colorado's Rio Blanco County, is owned by Bloomberg.
