Huckleberries Online

Forgot Something?

Always nice to start the day with some dumb criminal news:

"A robber at a Hayden pharmacy Monday night got the controlled drug he asked for, and then left money on the counter to pay for it, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Department.

The man went to the prescription counter at Walgreens about 8:45 p.m. and asked the pharmacist for a drug.

When the man was told he needed a prescription, the man told the pharmacist he was robbing her, according to Lt. Stu Miller.

He was given the drug and left money on the counter before exiting the store. There was no mention of a weapon." More.

Wonder if they'll charge him with misdemeanor forgetfulness?
