Firearms land man up to 10 years in fed prison
Eastern District of Texas
A Beaumont man has pleaded guilty to a federal firearms violation in the Eastern District of Texas.
George Broussard, also known as Man, 32, pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a prohibited person before U.S. Magistrate Judge Keith Giblin.
“Today’s guilty plea is another victory for the Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods program and our effort to help make Beaumont a safer community,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei. “My office, along with the Beaumont Police Department and our other local, state, and federal law enforcement partners, will never stop working to keep firearms out of the hands of violent criminals.”
Federal Funds For Safe Neighborhood Project
Indianapolis programs to improve public safety and curb violence were recently awarded federal funds.
The Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods announced grants for programs that target community outreach, gun crime reduction and data improvement.
Nearly $50,000 will be given to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s Right Fit initiative. The after-school program pairs police officers with local youth to build relationships and trust.
More than $30,000 will go to the city to provide training on reducing crime through environmental design.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said reducing violent crime takes all partners.
“Through enhanced coordination, we can effectively invest in and transform neighborhoods across our city,” Hogsett said. “The programs funded by Project Safe Neighborhoods are strong examples of how collaboration can lead to better outcomes for residents.”
