Text: At Freeman's sentencing hearing, the district court adopted the factual findings contained in the PSR. The PSR explains that, on the day of the burglary, Freeman told an acquaintance that Freeman had once attempted to break into the Arcade, but that he had had to flee when a police officer arrived in the area. Freeman also told this acquaintance that he planned to break into the Arcade because there was easy access through a window. Later that evening, while Freeman's sister and an unidentified juvenile were waiting in a car, he left with a crow bar and a black duffle bag and returned with the bag full of firearms. Freeman told his sister that he had broken into the Arcade. Aided by the juvenile, Freeman sold a total of five of the firearms to his cousin, his uncle, and a drug dealer on the night of the break-in. Freeman then enlisted Roehm's assistance to sell more of the stolen firearms. Sometime after 4 a.m. the following morning, Freeman and Roehm proceeded to sell several of the firearms to their own heroin dealer in exchange for $400 and approximately five grams of heroin. Roehm sold one more firearm before he and Freeman parted ways. They reconvened shortly thereafter, with Freeman giving Roehm eight more firearms to sell. Freeman told Roehm that he had stolen approximately 40 firearms and had about 12 remaining. Roehm then sold the eight firearms that he had been given by Freeman to an undercover ATF agent. After his arrest, Roehm proceeded to cooperate with the police and assisted in arranging for the sale of three firearms between Freeman and a second undercover ATF agent. Freeman, Roehm, and the agent then traveled to Freeman's apartment, where Freeman claimed that he had other firearms for sale. Despite Freeman's inability to enter the apartment because he had misplaced the key, he obtained payment for the three firearms that he was selling to the agent. A few days later, Freeman was arrested. He subsequently admitted selling three firearms to the undercover agent. Freeman also acknowledged that he had told the agent that he had more firearms for sale at his apartment in an attempt to lure the agent, who Freeman suspected was an undercover agent, to his apartment for the purpose of robbing him at gunpoint. Because he observed that the buyer had more money, Freeman had hoped to take this additional money, retrieve the firearms that he had already sold, and escape. This plan was foiled when Freeman was unable to gain entry to his apartment. According to the PSR, Freeman denied burglarizing the Arcade and claimed that he had obtained all of the firearms from Roehm.
