<\/p>\nA Lebanon man will spend more than five years in federal prison after he was found with a loaded handgun and drugs while asleep in a car, federal prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
Robert Beaumont, 29, was sentenced April 7 to 65 months\u2019 imprisonment by U.S. District Judge Keli M. Neary, according to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
State police in Lebanon County responded to a report of a man slumped over the steering wheel of a car and found Beaumont asleep in the driver\u2019s seat of a black Nissan, prosecutors said. Officers spotted loose heroin on the passenger seat and took him into custody.<\/p>\n
During a search of the vehicle, police found a loaded SCCY CPX-2 9mm pistol under the driver\u2019s seat, along with heroin, methamphetamine and assorted drug paraphernalia, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n
Beaumont was barred from possessing firearms due to a 2020 guilty plea to possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and related charges.<\/p>\n
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Scalera prosecuted.<\/p>\n
