North Salem man arrested for witness intimidation connected to September shooting in Danbury

Danbury Police have arrested a North Salem man for assault and witness intimidation in connection with the shooting death of Jason Hoffman in September.  The Connecticut Post reports that David Leslie Beers was also charged with threatening and reckless endangerment for dragging the witness with his van down a driveway because the witness gave information to police. 

According to the arrest warrant, the victim told police the 34-year old came to their home on Valentine's Day to buy drugs.  When the victim approached the driver's side, Beers allegedly grabbed the witness and sped off. 

The witness blacked out, later went to the hospital and then received threatening texts and a voicemail from the man.  According to a transcript of expletive-laced voicemail, Beers said "rat on my boy Ramos and I’m gonna put the beats on you. You heard me?” 

Beers is due in court March 9th. 

33-year old David Ramos is facing a change of manslaughter for Hoffman's death.
