BEAUMONT, Texas –A Beaumont convicted felon has been sentenced to federal prison for firearms violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs.
Kendrick Deon Ewing, 37, pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Marcia A. Crone on August 20, 2026.
According to information presented in court, on December 28, 2025, law enforcement responded to a Beaumont car wash where Ewing was involved in a disturbance. As the officer approached, Ewing fled in a vehicle. Later that evening, Ewing was located again and as the officer was speaking to him, Ewing put his vehicle in drive and fled the scene. Ewing evaded officers for over a mile, failing to stop at approximately 14 stop signs, and traveling more than 50 mph in a residential neighborhood, before being apprehended after reaching a dead-end street and fleeing on foot. A search of the vehicle resulted in the discovery of two firearms. Further investigation revealed Ewing is a convicted felon and prohibited from owning or possessing firearms or ammunition.
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is the Department of Justice’s nationwide initiative that brings federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement, prosecutors, and other public safety partners together to coordinate efforts to combat violent crime and make communities safe. Coordinated by U.S. Attorneys’ offices in each of the 94 federal districts, PSN is tailored to particular communities to strategically address specific violent crime and public safety challenges. As a key component of Operation Take Back America, PSN serves a central role in the Department’s commitment to make our country safe. PSN emphasizes three core principles: rapid federal response to violent crime and criminal offenders; strong, strategic partnerships among law enforcement at all levels; and accountability and deterrence through the prosecution of the most serious, readily provable offenses and other strategies. These efforts complement and strengthen President Trump’s Homeland Security Task Forces, ensuring a comprehensive federal response to the most pressing public safety issues facing communities.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Beaumont Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Russell James.
