Beane wielded a shotgun in an attempt to rob the bar, and patrons had wrestled the weapon from him, the gun was found in pieces with Beane badly beaten.

Apparently by-bystanders beat the would-be robber.

Authorities had already responded to Beane's first failed robbery attempt at nearby Husson's Pizza, which ended after the cashier fled.

Beane told the judge that he was in a drunken haze when he tried to rob the two businesses.

Beane admitted to two charges of first-degree robbery in Kanawha County Circuit Judge Duke Bloom's courtroom and faces a minimum of 20 years in prison.
