Store employees told police the man entered the store and went to the pharmacy area. The suspect told one employee to lie on the ground and demanded certain controlled drugs, police say. The employee was not able to get access to those drugs.
Instead, the suspect went to the pharmacy cash register and ordered another employee to open it. The suspect placed a portion of the $344 he made off with in a plastic bag, police report.
