During a traffic stop on January 16, police attempted to pull him over due to a license plate mismatch. Beasley fled, crashing his vehicle into trees. Upon arrest, officers discovered a loaded Glock handgun in his car, equipped with a machine gun conversion device (MCD) that allowed it to function as a fully automatic weapon. The firearm also had a 50-round drum magazine containing 26 rounds. Beasley was already a convicted felon and was on supervised release for a previous offense.
