A Flatwoods, Kentucky man is behind bars for allegedly robbing a Huntington bar early Sunday morning.
Police say 42-year-old William Fykes walked into the Stonewall bar on 7th Avenue, pulled out a gun and demanded money from the staff.
We're told Fykes was in the bar for 25 minutes before a person walked in, saw the robbery and called police.
Police called in the swat team, but the Fykes left before they got there. Huntington Police found Fykes and arrested him after a short foot chase.
Two workers at the bar were taken to the hospital with facial injuries. They are in serious condition, but are expected to recover.
Fykes is charged with three counts of armed robbery, three counts of kidnapping and two counts of malicious wounding and obstructing an officer.
