Deer Park store robbed of OxyContin at gunpoint
A gunman robbed a Deer Park pharmacy of OxyContin about 4:40 p.m. today.
The man handed an employee at the Medicine Shoppe, 11 E. H St., a note demanding the powerful prescription pain killer while displaying a silver pistol tucked in his waistband, according to the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office.
The robber left the pharmacy with a quantity of the drug and ran across the street to the back of the Salty Dog restaurant. No vehicle was seen, and no injuries were reported.
The culprit is described as 5-foot-6 to 5-foot7, tall and clean shaven. He wore a dark blue or black wool-type coat (possibly a Navy pea jacket) and a dark knit cap.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233.

Pharmacists don’t have a problem with selling Hillbilly Heroin and helping create a crime wave but shy away from allowing women to determine their reproductive autonomy.
Sounds about right.
But the Feds shut down Medical Marijuana dispensaries?
Is there a way we can charge the makers of Oxycontin for the peripheral costs associated with the logical end associated with their product, like the Tobacco suits?

My Peep!
Nothing says “Merry X-Mas” and “Gawd Bless ‘Merica” like a fist full of Hillbilly Heroin stolen with the help of a shiny hand gun!
But don’t let loose women get their hands on Plan B…aw hell no!
