Bean was initially charged in Vandalia Municipal Court. The case was dismissed without prejudice which means the case could be brought back to court.
Around 8 a.m. on May 11, Montgomery County sheriff’s deputies responded to a reported aggravated robbery in the 4000 block of Fer Don Road in Harrison Twp.
The victim reported reported Bean pointed a gun at their head and stole money, according to the sheriff’s office.
The victim was able leave the house safely and call 911.
When deputies arrived, Bean was still inside the house and reportedly refused to come outside.
Deputies believed he was armed with a handgun and rifle. The house was secured and Montgomery County Regional SWAT and Hostage Negotiation Team responded.
After hours of negotiations, Bean came outside and was arrested without incident.
Bean and the victim are known to each other, according to the sheriff’s office.
