Male suspect at large after pharmacy robbery

COEUR d'ALENE - Medicine Man Pharmacy in Coeur d'Alene was robbed by man with a gun midday Saturday.

Coeur d'Alene Police officers responded to a report of a robbery at the pharmacy, located at 1114 Ironwood Drive, at 11 a.m. Employees said a male came into the pharmacy and approached the counter. He placed a black, snub-nose .38 caliber handgun with a wood handle on the counter and demanded the pharmacy tech give him OxyContin.

The Coeur d'Alene Police Department reported that the pharmacy does not keep OxyContin on hand, so the pharmacist handed the suspect Diazepam and the male immediately fled the pharmacy. He was last seen running south through Ironwood business parking lots toward Northwest Boulevard.

The robbery suspect is described as a white male in his early 20s, 5-foot-11 to 6-feet tall, 220-230 pounds, black medium-length hair, no facial hair, wearing a brown fedora-style hat, large-frame women's black sunglasses, long-sleeved light blue shirt with thin white stripes on the front, tan cargo shorts, white earbud-style headphones in his ears.

Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call the Coeur d'Alene Police at 769-2320 or submit information to the tip line at policetips@cdaid.org.
