NANAIMO — A Nanaimo woman with a criminal record spanning nearly 10 years is back in custody for allegedly pulling a meat cleaver during a robbery.

RCMP said Angelina Emma Beans, 31, was arrested after allegedly stealing alcohol from the Quarterway Liquor Store on Bowen Rd. around 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 14.

Police said Beans pulled the meat cleaver when she was confronted by staff about the alleged theft. She then took off with a man, only to be found by Mounties a short time later.

Beans was in possession of the stolen booze, the meat cleaver and several pieces of stolen ID when she was arrested, RCMP said.

Court records showed Beans, who also uses the alias Brandy Wadhams, was convicted of a variety of offences since 2008. They include theft, possession of stolen property, mischief and breach of probation. Her crimes range from Campbell River to Quesnel. Despite the numerous convictions, Beans was never sentenced to more than four days in jail.
