Armed pharmacist stops robbery in progress
Police say a 35-year-old Salt Lake man didn't really have a gun when he walked into a pharmacy and handed an employee a note demanding painkillers. But a pharmacy co-worker did. According to charges filed against the man Friday in 3rd District Court, surveillance video at the Millcreek Pharmacy, 1260 E. Vine St., showed the man pulling his hoodie over his head and putting on a pair of cotton gloves before entering the pharmacy last Monday. A pharmacy worker told police the man handed her a note stating "This is a robbery. Give me 2 bottles of Oxycontin ... Do NOT make a scene and no one will get hurt. I have a gun." When another pharmacy co-worker showed his gun, and the suspect attempted to flee. The suspect, however, "deferred to suggestions" made by a passer-by armed with a golf club to wait for police, according to the charging documents. A search by police revealed the suspect was armed with a hunting knife. He has been charged with first-degree aggravated robbery and a misdemeanor count of carrying a concealed weapon. As of Friday, he remained in the Salt Lake County Jail on $50,000 bail.
No - discouraged by a firearm. Stopped by a five iron.
“Stopped by a five iron.”
Pretty weak criminal if you ask me. It would take at least a Callaway oversized driver to stop me. Also it would have to be a graphite shaft for more whip action on the swing...
Excellent. It’s time for Americans to take back their country from criminals and politicians(Amnesty). Using a gun in both cases if necessary.
Hoodie? Baby talk in a MSM crime report?
I’m going to suggest this article was written by a woman who has a number of “hoodies” in her closet.
Slang rather than baby talk. Still inappropriate.
It reads more like the Mel Brooks movie High Anxiety where they have to say “Woo Woo” in front of a little girl.
