A church pastor helped detectives identify a suspect today in a robbery Monday night at a North Idaho pharmacy.

Egan B. Logan IV, 39, of Twin Lakes, was arrested today on charges of robbery and possession of a controlled substance. Detectives say he demanded anxiety medicine from the Hayden Walgreens about 8:45 p.m. Monday, then left $300 on the counter before fleeing with the drug. The 100 pills of Adderall were valued at $550, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Department.

The pharmacist told detectives the robber said “I guess I will have to rob you” when she said she couldn’t give him the drug without a prescription.

A local church pastor contacted the Sheriff’s Department today and said she’d had contact with a possible suspect. Detectives met Logan at the Rathdrum Police Department, where he reportedly admitted to the robbery. He’s in custody at the Kootenai County Jail and is due in court Wednesday.

    Lack of healthcare or a raging addiction? Maybe both. Either way, I kind of feel sorry for the guy & I’m glad he at least paid for it. I’d really like to know what the medicine was. So sad. I’m glad no one was hurt.

    The tags say Adderall. Weird how it wouldn’t be in the story.

    Weird. The article I was reading from the link off of Facebook is different. Lots of typos and grammatical errors. Why are they different?
