A man robbed the pharmacist at the CVS Pharmacy at 38th Avenue North and Highway 17 Bypass in Myrtle Beach of several pain killers around 1:45am Monday morning.
According to a police report, one of the clerks saw the man enter the store early Monday and recognized him as someone who had been in twice in the past two weeks. The man was observed heading to the pharmacy in the back.
In the back, the man approached the pharmacy. The pharmacist told police the man handed him a note that said, "I have a gun under my coat. Do not make a scene. No alarms. I have nothing left to lose. OxyContin - All ml. Xanax - all. In a plastic bag. Don't make me hurt anyone."
The pharmacist complied and gave the man the drugs. The man then walked out. The pharmacist said the man never showed a gun. The pharmacist indicated to a supervisor in the store that a robbery had occurred and the supervisor told the clerk in the front of the store to see which way the man was headed.
The clerk told police she watched the man run across Highway 17 and into Plantation Point. She described the man as white, mid to late 20's, about 5'9" or 5'10", about 160 lbs, with reddish blonde hair that was long enough to stick out from under his dark ball cap. The clerk told police the man was wearing a black jacket with a red tag on the left side, black sneakers with a red stripe and dark khaki pants.
Anyone with information on the suspect can contact the Myrtle beach Police Department at 843-918-1382.
