According to court documents, officers were sent to the Rite Aid at 3532 East Third St. at 3:14 p.m. in response to a panic alarm. Officers said that they entered the pharmacy and found a black male, later identified as Shavers, who matched an employee description of the robber. Shavers was soon taken into custody.
On investigation, an employee told police that Shavers had approached her at the pharmacy window and asked to speak to the pharmacist.
When the pharmacist came to the window, according to court documents Shavers handed the pharmacist a note that said he was armed and willing to kill, that “These are The governments pills Not yours”, and ordered the pharmacist to hand over a list of prescription drugs.
Shavers is scheduled for a hearing on Friday.
