WARWICK, R.I.—One of four males charged with using baseball bats to rob a Warwick restaurant owner has been convicted of robbery and conspiracy.

William Keenan was accused in the April 2006 attack on Konstantino Panteleakis as he was closing his restaurant.

Panteleakis received multiple injuries and $3,200 was stolen.

Police say they were led to the 21-year-old Keenan after the suspects tossed bandanas, gloves and a bat emblazoned with "Big Dogz" as they fled.

The suspects were part all part of rap group called "Big Dogz."

Prosecutors said Keenan had a photo of himself wearing a bandana and carrying a bat on the group's MySpace page.

Keenan was convicted Thursday and will be sentenced in July. Two of the other males have pleaded no contest. A juvenile served a year at the State Training school.
