Man with Knife Robs Medication from CVS

At 6:51 p.m., San Angelo Police Department Control Division officers were dispatched to 318 W. Beauregard in regards to a robbery in progress.

While en route, the male subject, a man from New Mexico, fled the store, said an official at the scene. When units arrived, witnesses flagged them down and pointed out the suspect.

The man was taken into custody without incident across the street from CVS.

The officer said the suspect, a Hispanic male, entered the store and used a knife to steal medication. He was transported to Shannon Medical Center Emergency Room for a medical clear.  

“There’s a question on whether or not he possibly ingested some medication,” said the officer.

At this time, the suspect will be charged with aggravated robbery. No one was hurt during the incident.
