A brutal case of illegal firearm possession has landed a Pike Road man in federal prison. Treneal De\’Ron Beasley, 25, of Pike Road, Alabama, was sentenced on July 31, 2025, to 72 months in federal prison for illegally possessing a machinegun.
According to court records, the case began on August 17, 2024, when officers with the Montgomery Police Department responded to a domestic disturbance call. The caller reported that her child’s father was attempting to force his way into her home. Upon arrival, officers heard an argument inside the residence and, upon entering the home, observed Beasley holding a handgun.
Beasley was immediately taken into custody and the firearm was seized. Further examination revealed that the handgun was equipped with a machinegun conversion device, commonly known as a “switch.” This device converts a semi-automatic firearm into a fully automatic weapon, capable of firing up to 20 rounds per second with a single pull of the trigger.
The implications of such a device are dire, and law enforcement took swift action. On March 26, 2025, Beasley pleaded guilty to possession of a machinegun. The guilty plea marked a significant turning point in the case, as Beasley acknowledged the severity of his actions.
The Montgomery Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) investigated the case, which Assistant United States Attorney J. Patrick Lamb prosecuted. The collaborative effort between these agencies ensured that justice was served in this case.
In addition to his prison term, Beasley was ordered to serve three years of supervised release following his release from custody. There is no parole in the federal system, ensuring that Beasley will serve his full sentence. The sentence serves as a warning to those who would engage in similar criminal activity, and demonstrates the commitment of law enforcement to keeping communities safe.
Acting United States Attorney Kevin Davidson announced the sentencing, highlighting the importance of prosecuting such cases. The sentence of 72 months in federal prison is a significant one, and reflects the seriousness with which law enforcement views the illegal possession of machineguns.
