City man arrested for multiple armed robberies

A city man was arrested on multiple charges after he robbed two residents at gunpoint and stole a bicycle earlier this week.

Nicholas Beair (pictured), 24, allegedly robbed Austin McKay, 15, of 814 West Chillicothe Avenue on Thursday.

The boy was walking home when Beair approached him, then pointed a gun at his stomach and stole $10.

On Wednesday, John Dunn, III, 50, of 612 West Chillicothe Avenue, was walking near Seymour Street when Beair stopped him and ordered him to remove everything from his pockets.

Beair took $2 and threatened to kill Dunn if he contacted police.

Beair reportedly stole a bicycle from Robert Gammell, 42, of 215 Springhill Street.

The Bellefontaine Police Department took Beair into custody at the intersection of South Main Street and West Auburn Avenue Thursday night around nine o'clock.

He was charged with a felony count of aggravated robbery and two misdemeanor counts of theft and criminal trespass.

The weapon used was an air soft pistol, which looks like a handgun.

No one was injured during the robberies.

Beair was lodged in the Logan County Jail.
