WATERVILLE, Maine — Police are looking for a man who allegedly robbed a Walmart pharmacy Tuesday night and escaped with drugs.
Police Chief Joseph Massey said Wednesday police were called to the Main Street store at 7 p.m. Tuesday, but by the time police arrived, the suspect had escaped.
Massey said the man approached the pharmacist and engaged him in small talk before he told the employee it was a robbery and he had a gun.
The man demanded 30-milligram oxycodone pills, but the employee told the suspect they didn’t have any, and he subsequently demanded 15 mg oxycodone pills and got away with a small quantity, Massey said.
The man, described as between the ages of 27 and 32 and weighing 180-200 pounds, was wearing a gray polo shirt and blue jeans, not exactly the style of a pharmacy robber, Massey said.
“He made no attempt to hide his identification,” Massey said. “In all the other pharmacy robberies, the suspect always tries to seal his identity by wearing hoodies or glasses.”
The suspect was captured on video surveillance, according to Massey. Anyone with information should contact Waterville police at 680-4700.

Thanks for running it with the article.
Good thing we keep a dangerous drug like marijuana in stand alone dispensaries. Yesiree…that pot is bad stuff…dangerous I say…
//sarcasm off
I like the part about the preliminary small talk. Most alleged armed robbers are in too much of a hurry to take part in any normal human interaction, but not this guy. “Hey, how are ya? How ’bout those Sox, huh? So listen, this is a robbery.”
Sounds like he is auditioning for a life time check. He sounds insane to me.
Well other than the pretty clear pictures, he planned this flawlessly.

THOSE people are desperate (although he didn’t act it).
just have fake bottles ready for cripe sakes..every pharmacy should
You’re right 100%. And advertise the fact. Hey scumbag$, is it worth holding up a pharmacy for a bottle of sugar pills??
Too simple, too good of an idea. Nobody will ever use it.
No job security in that idea.
Way too stupid for words. Mama is really proud of her little boy, I’m sure.
I can see this playing out in Texas. ” Sorry son i don’t have that in 30 milligram tablets.” But as the pharmacist turns around he says ” But will .44 Magnum do?” POW!!!!
One would think a multi-billion corporation would have better surveillance cameras.
