Former child star Bobb\u2019e J. Thompson, who acted in \u201cThat\u2019s So Raven\u201d and \u201c30 Rock,\u201d has been sentenced to more than two years in federal prison. <\/p>\n

Thompson was arrested last fall after police said he was driving 104 mph \u2014 more than 30 mph over the speed limit \u2014 in Cerro Gordo County, Iowa. A news release<\/a> issued by U.S. attorney\u2019s office of the Northern District of Iowa said an officer stopped the vehicle and spotted Thompson and the passenger switching seats. The officer reported that, when he approached the car, there was a smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle. <\/p>\n

Officers searched the vehicle and, according to the news release, found a backpack holding bags of dispensary-bought marijuana and a .40-caliber handgun that was fully loaded with a 15-round magazine. Police said the gun had been reported stolen from a car in Kansas City, Mo.<\/p>\n
