A local man has a new warrant issued for his arrest

A local man most recently living in St. Johnsbury who was charged in 2021 with threatening to kill a woman during an argument outside of his former apartment in Lisbon has a new warrant issued for his arrest after failing to appear for his sentencing at Grafton Superior Court. In March 2021, Bruce A. Becker, 41, was charged with a Class B felony count of witness tampering/retaliation and a Class A misdemeanor count of criminal threatening for accusing a woman of being a “snitch”  while knowing she had provided evidence or testimony against him in a separate Littleton District Court case. Becker was also charged with a Class A misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct that alleged he breached the peace by making loud and unreasonable noises when he yelled violent and obscene profanities from within his apartment on 6 South Main St. in Lisbon that were heard outside of the apartment. In addition, he was charged with a Class A misdemeanor count of violating the conditions of his district court case bail, which prohibited him from committing another crime while on release.
