Two plead guilty in Walden robbery

  John Peel and William Keator each got about $150 
from a gunpoint robbery of the Hess station in 
Walden, but they also threw away a few years of 
their lives.

  Peel, 20, will serve four years in state prison 
and Keator, 19, will serve 3? years, under the 
terms of plea bargains yesterday in Orange County 
Court.

  They each pleaded guilty to second-degree 
robbery, admitting they both robbed the all-night 
gas station at Routes 52 and 208 at about 6 a.m. 
Feb. 11.

  Peel was carrying a BB gun that looked like a 
real gun. Keator was his accomplice.

  "You were riding shotgun?" Judge Jeffrey Berry asked Keator.

  "Figuratively speaking, yes," Keator replied.

  The former Walden roommates are both in Orange 
County Jail, pending sentencing on June 5.
