Criminal History

  • In 2002, the defendant was charged with Harassment in Louisville, Kentucky. According to the arrest report, the victim—the defendant’s former wife—Beckley became angry when not provided with his son and grabbed the victim by the arm and shoulder and attempted to push her out of a doorway. The victim sustained injuries to her right bicep and lower back. The defendant was originally charged with 4th degree aggravated assault/spousal abuse. The case was dismissed in 2003.
  • In 2016, the defendant was charged with 2nd degree Assault, 2nd degree Robbery, and 2nd
    degree Wanton Endangerment. The case was dismissed in 2018. The Government obtained records for this case and learned the following: The defendant was originally hired by Victim 1, a 74-year-old woman at the time, to perform work at her home. Victim 1 paid Beckley, and he failed to perform the work. Victim 1 then hired Victim 2 to perform the work at her residence. Beckley arrived at the scene while Victim 2 was working. Beckley demanded his tools from Victim 1, and she refused to return Beckley’s tools until Beckley refunded her money. Beckley then picked up a piece of decking lumber and swung the board at Victim 1. Victim 2 attempted to intervene in the altercation, and Beckley struck Victim 2 across the back of the head with a drywall brace. It is alleged that Victim 2 suffered a seizure and injuries to the front and back of his hand. Beckley took the property belonging to Victim 2, valued under $500, and left the scene. The Commonwealth of Kentucky moved to dismiss the case without prejudice because Victim 1’s health prevented her from appearing in court to testify, and the case would not proceed to trial without her testimony.
