Truth is Stranger Than Fiction

A Frederick, Maryland man robbed a local Wal-Mart.   The weapon he used – a BB gun he had stolen previously from the same Wal-Mart.

The suspect, made off with approximately $1,700.00 from the store.  A K-9 officer and handler led deputies to a location near the store, where investigators found a backpack, the BB gun and a trespassing notification that was served by the Frederick County Sheriff’s office in February on Nicholas Wayne Keyian.

Security personnel from Wal-Mart remembered Keyian from a number of thefts from the same store during the previous months, including one the day before the robbery, in which the BB gun was allegedly stolen.  Keyian was also recognized as the suspect in a theft dating back to March, in which several electronic items were stolen from the store.

Not surprisingly, Keyian was arrested in connection with the robbery and charged accordingly and was being held in the Frederick County Adult Detention Center.  According to court documents, his bail was set at $100,000.
