WASHINGTON - Robert Geiger, 47, a previously convicted felon residing in the District of Columbia, was sentenced Friday to 33 months in prison for illegally possessing a loaded stolen handgun with an extended magazine, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
Geiger pleaded guilty on Oct. 30, 2025, before Judge Trevor N. McFadden to unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. In addition to the 33-month prison term, Judge McFadden ordered Geiger to serve three years of supervised release.
According to court documents, on March 11, 2024, about 7:25 p.m., Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers on patrol in the 1500 block of S Street SE approached a vehicle with heavily tinted windows that appeared to be idling. Officers observed the driver, later identified as Geiger, place an object to his side and pull his shirt over his waistband. After asking Geiger to exit the vehicle, officers conducted a protective pat-down and discovered a loaded 9mm Glock 19 with an extended magazine holding 25 rounds concealed in his waistband. The firearm had been reported stolen by the Nash County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina.
This case was investigated by the MPD with valuable assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rajbir Datta.
