SUNBURY -- A 38-year-old Danville man, whose alleged attempted to commit an armed robbery late Monday night at the Alvin E. Long American Legion Post in Mandata was thwarted by a Herndon area man, was formally arraigned Thursday morning on multiple charges.
Keith Allen Reibsome was arraigned at 10 a.m. by District Justice Wade Brown on charges of robbery, theft, burglary, aggravated assault, simple assault, unlawful restraint and possession of instruments of a crime. The charges had been filed by Trooper Andrew Orzehowski of the state police station at Stonington.
Reibsome was recommitted to Northumberland County Prison in lieu of $50,000 cash bail and ordered to appear for a preliminary hearing on the charges at 10 a.m. Tuesday before Brown.
The defendant was incarcerated at the county prison on an outstanding bench warrant from Northumberland County after being apprehended by Ricky Rickert, 40, of Herndon RD, at the post Monday night and subsequently taken into custody by police.
Rickert, a member of the American Legion post who had stopped by the establishment on his way home from a softball game in Herndon, saw that the outside sign was turned off and made a U-turn in the parking lot to leave when he noticed the front door wasn't completely shut and decided to further investigate.
Once inside, Rickert spotted 39-year-old bartender Nicola Whary of Lykens, whose hands had been wrapped in duct tape by Reibsome as he attempted to rob the establishment. Rickert jumped the intruder and a scuffle ensued between the two men, during which Whary was able to free herself and call police.
Rickert was able to subdue Reibsome and hold him until Lower Mahanoy Township Chief of Police Randy Wynn and state police arrived to take the armed robber into custody.
