An intoxicated man allegedly tried to steal alcohol from the Lebanon Walmart on Monday night and threatened store employees with a wine bottle opener or similar device that could have been used a weapon, according to the Lebanon Police Department.

Kevin Lee Miller, 36, of Lebanon, was charged with first-degree robbery and unlawful use of a weapon in Linn County Circuit Court on Tuesday afternoon.

Judge Michael Wynhausen set his bail at $100,000. The next hearing in the case was scheduled for Feb. 19.

The incident was reported at 10:44 p.m. on Monday. Sgt. Jeremy Weber of LPD said that Miller was taken into custody without incident.

Miller has an extensive criminal history that includes multiple convictions for fourth-degree assault.

In March 2017, he was sentenced to 20 months in the custody of the Oregon Department of Corrections after pleading no contest to a charge of unlawful use of a weapon as part of a negotiated settlement.
