District Court Judge Joy Hamilton found Don Beason guilty of misdemeanor assault this afternoon.
He was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and ordered to relinquish his Taurus .357 revolver to Raleigh police. He has already voluntarily turned in his concealed gun permit.
His sentence was continued to next October. In the meantime, Beason will be on unsupervised probation. If he does not commit any further crimes, the sentence will be continued indefinitely.
Hamilton found Beason not guilty of a separate misdemeanor charge of assault by pointing a gun.
His attorney said he would not appeal the case.
