April 22, 13720 block of West Colonial Drive. At approximately 8 a.m., a law-enforcement officer responded to a call at a pharmacy store in reference to an unwanted person who had spent three to five hours in the store. The officer was advised by the complainant that the customer had been asked to leave multiple times, but the customer refused to do so. An employee stated she noticed several opened packages of merchandise in the restroom’s trash bin, which the customer had vacated. A search of the customer’s purse produced multiple hypodermic needles, clear baggies with suspected heroin and multiple items that store employees confirmed matched the packaging in the restroom’s trash. The items were a portable blue tooth speaker, body spray, false nails and deodorant totaling $67.24.
