Arraignment for an accused pharmacy robber was postponed as he applies for a public defender.
Witnesses identified the robber’s getaway car as a blue Toyota pickup, and a tip based on a news report led police to 7th Avenue and Adams Street, according to search warrant.
There, they found a truck matching the description from the robbery. It was registered to Snell in Nine Mile Falls, according to a search warrant. Snell is in jail on $30,000 bail; $5,000 is for a separate charge of third-degree organized retail theft.
Spokane’s surge in OxyContin-related crime continued this week with a home invasion that saw two men steal OxyContin and hydrocodone from a 54-year-old woman.
On Saturday, a man tried robbing the same Rite Aid that Snell’s charged with robbing.
