SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

At approximately 2200 hours on 3/16/26, VSP Derby Troopers received a report from an individual that Syman Belmore had threatened to kill them, and was making threats to destroy their residence and property.  Troopers responded to the residence in Lowell and attempted to speak with Belmore, however he barricaded himself inside the residence, threatened responding troopers and refused to comply with their commands.

 

Belmore continued making threats to kill the individual and another into the morning of 3/17, where later in the day he was located at a residence in Brownington.  Attempts to speak with Belmore were unsuccessful, and at approximately 1845 hours troopers responded to the residence to arrest him, where it was discovered he had barricaded the driveway.

Belmore was transported to the VSP Derby Barracks for processing, where he was ordered held without bail.  He was lodged at the Northern State Correctional Facility and is due in court to answer to the above offenses at 1230 hours on 3/18/26.
