A man was arrested in Orlando, Florida, after he walked into a CVS drugstore and gave employees a handwritten note indicating he would shoot someone unless he was given “all bottles” of oxycodone, hydrocodone, Xanax, Adderall, liquid codeine and Viagra.
“This is a armed robbery!” he wrote in a note to the pharmacy. “Please cooperate, I don’t want to hurt you. You are not to alarm anybody or I will shoot the closest person to me!”
The 23-year-old man was apprehended with dozens of bottles of pills and the handwritten note after a short foot pursuit from the CVS on Curry Ford Road, Orlando police said.
Police said he faces several robbery, trafficking and possession charges.
