Man robbing CVS had odd list of demands — including all the Viagra, Florida cops say

In a case of too much information, an Orlando robbery suspect handed his intended victims a note that was a page long and included threats, detailed instructions and a laundry list of drugs, authorities say.

Among the demands on Oct. 20 was every bottle of Viagra in the CVS drugstore on Curry Ford Road, the Orlando Police Department said in a news release.

“Pharmacy employees say the suspect handed them a note indicating he had a gun and would shoot them if he was not provided the pills listed,” police said.

“Officers arrived on the scene as the suspect ... was walking out of the store. After a short foot pursuit, (he) was apprehended and was still holding the stolen narcotics and his written note.”

Investigators described the robbery note as “detailing a long list of very specific demands,” with six types of drugs listed (including their milligram sizes) and instructions that included: “When finished, place note in bag and lay down or I will shoot you.”

The 23-year-old suspect traveled “to Orlando from Jacksonville to carry out the plan” and has been linked to a similar robbery in Central Florida, police said.

He faces charges of robbery, drug trafficking and drug possession, officials said.
