A standoff with Little Rock SWAT officers led to a man being arrested and charged in a Monday robbery at a pharmacy, police said.

Zachary Moran, 35, faces aggravated robbery and theft of property charges, according to a release from the city’s Police Department.

Officers responded to Heartland RX Pharmacy 11414 W. Markham St., around 1:30 p.m. According to the release, Moran entered the store with a handgun demanding benzodiazepines. A report states he was in the pharmacy for about a minute and left with a cardboard box that contained the medication.
