A masked assailant handed a pharmacist a note that only read “methadone” during a robbery Saturday at a Little Rock drugstore, police say.
The robber walked into Tanglewood Drug Store at 6815 Cantrell Road around 9:35 a.m. and demanded the prescription drug, according to a Little Rock Police Department report.
"I want this," the assailant said while handing the note to a pharmacist, who then passed it on to another employee.
"This is not a prescription," one pharmacist then said before the robber again demanded methadone pills.
Police said an employee filled a bottle with the prescription medication and handed it to the robber, who fled the store on foot, heading west.
The assailant was described as standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds, according to authorities. He was wearing a black ski mask, a gray hoodie, blue jeans and brown boots at the time.
No arrests had been made at the time of the report.
