Man Tells Pharmacist He Has Gun, Steals $1K in Pills
Information provided by the Fairlawn Police Department.
A man walked in Walgreens on May 30 and passed the pharmacist a note saying he had a gun, according to a Fairlawn police report.
The man demanded the pharmacist give him all the oxycodone and acetaminophen of specific strengths in the pharmacy, the report said.
The pharmacist gathered five bottles of Percocet, valued at $1,151, and put it in a store bag. She set the bag on the counter and turned around to get more, but the man grabbed the bag and ran.
A store employee saw him running across West Market Street toward Riviera Lanes, but when police searched the area, they couldn't find him, the report said.

Would it have helped the police if a description of the individual had been broadcast? No doubt they are pouring over store video tapes. I'm sure FPD is doing all that can be done to find the guy. Thank God that, though those involved must have been shaken up a bit, no one was injured.

"She set the bag on the counter and turned around to get more, but the man grabbed the bag and ran." Dude should have hung around another few seconds, he would have got another $1151.00 bag of pills. Damn that Percocet is expensive
