COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — Police in northern Idaho say a robber demanded a controlled drug from a local pharmacy, and then threw some cash on the counter to pay for it before fleeing.
The Kootenai County Sheriff's Department says the man went to the prescription counter at a Hayden-area Walgreens Monday night and asked the pharmacist for a drug. Lt. Stu Miller says that when the man was told he needed a prescription, the man told the pharmacist he was robbing her.
The Spokesman Review reports that once she gave him the drug, Miller says the robber put some money on the counter and then left the store.
The man is described as white, in his mid-40s, about 5-feet, 10-inches tall and as having a mustache.
