A man with previous links to drug dealings was punched in the face during an armed robbery at a Little Rock apartment complex, police say.
The Little Rock Police Department responded around 5 p.m. Sunday to a robbery at Alexander Place Apartments, 6310 Colonel Glenn Road, according to a report.
The victim told a responding officer that he’d been at a friend's apartment when the robber, someone he had paid back the day before for a pain pill, appeared, the report said.
Believing the two were on “good terms” after giving him $6 for the medication, the man asked for a ride to the back of the apartment complex to return to his residence, police said.
The robber later pulled out a gun and took $160 in cash as well as two prescription drugs and the victim’s debit card, the officer noted.
No arrest had been made at the time of the report.
