HARRISBURG — This is an official press release from the U.S. Department of Justice (USAO - Pennsylvania, Middle), published as received.
HARRISBURG – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Robert Beaumont, age 29, of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on April 7, 2026, to 65 months of imprisonment by United Stated District Judge Keli M. Neary for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
According to United States Attorney Brian D. Miller, state police in Lebanon County were dispatched for a report of a man slumped over the wheel of a car. When police arrived, they found Beaumont asleep in the driver’s seat of a black Nissan. Police saw loose heroin on the passenger seat and took him into custody. During a search of the vehicle, police found a loaded SCCY CPX-2 9mm pistol under the driver’s seat. They also found heroin, methamphetamine, and assorted drug paraphernalia.
Beaumont had previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and related charges in 2020. He was therefore ineligible to possess a firearm.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case. Assistant United States Attorney Michael Scalera prosecuted the case.
