"Bag the following": Florida man charged with robbery after demanding viagra, oxy, codeine and other drugs in note [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2023-10-26

A Florida man was arrested in Orlando after he walked into a CVS and handed a cashier a handwritten note threatening to open fire unless "all bottles" of viagra and other drugs were handed over.

"The suspect armed with this note detailing a long list of very specific demands was quickly arrested by Orlando Police," wrote Orlando Police on Twitter. The 23-year-old man, not named in reports, was charged with robbery, drug trafficking and drug possession after shaking down the Curry Ford Road store.

"This is a armed robbery!" the man's note reads in a photo posted by the police. "Please cooperate, I don't want to hurt you. You are not to alarm anybody or I will shoot the closest person to me!"
