Previous Story

The Rite Aid pharmacy on Red Bud Road in Calhoun was allegedly robbed by a man demanding pills.

According to Calhoun City Police Information Officer Lt. Tony Pyle:

A man entered the store the evening of Sunday, Nov. 13 and handed a pharmacist a note demanding pills. The note also implied that the man was carrying a weapon.

Pyle said the pharmacist recalled never seeing a weapon, but noticed the man kept his hand in his pocket the entire time.

The pharmacist, who said he felt threatened, gave the man what he wanted, and the man exited the store with an undisclosed amount of narcotics.

"The suspect is described as a white male with a mustache, he appeared to be in his late 20s or early 30s and is approximately 5'6" tall," said Pyle. "He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, dark colored baseball cap and khaki pants."

Police are still looking for the suspect, but Pyle said officers do have leads.

Police are asking anyone with information pertaining to the case or the suspect, to call the Calhoun Police Departments Criminal Investigation Division at 706-602-5755 or the Gordon County 911 Center.

A still image from video surveillance would probably be a good thing to post if soliciting public help to identify the suspect. I think the shiny handcuff pic is pretty and all, but it's not going to aid me in recognizing the perp.

Approximately five or six feet tall? That really narrows it down...I'm sure we'll be able to help identify the suspect based on this evidence...
