The Henry County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a man who attempted to rob Harder’s Pharmacy in Bassett on Saturday morning.
A white male, with his face partially covered, entered the store on Fairystone Park Highway at about 10 a.m. and demanded that the pharmacist give him all the OxyContin and pain pills in the store, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
The pharmacist pulled a handgun and the would-be robber ran out of the store and got into the passenger seat of a vehicle parked across the street, authorities said.
The driver then pulled out and backed up the street toward Riverside Drive, the release states.
The sheriff’s office encourages anyone with information about the crime to call (276) 638-8751.
Self Defense Ping
Dude’s lucky. He went in for pain pills and he could’ve ended up with a lead suppository.
“I’ll relieve your pain: permanently! With a shot to the head!”
Would have been a better story if he had shot him.
