The incident was reported at 12:20 p.m. Thursday at the Walgreens on Valley Street, and the suspect was detained around 2:30 p.m.

 A man wearing a black motorcycle helmet to conceal his face walked into the pharmacy with a weapon, demanding drugs, which he stole before fleeing the scene, officials said.

The incident is considered an active investigation, according to Sheriff’s Station officials. Deputies are still investigating what weapon, if any, the suspect used to commit the robbery.

Sheriff’s Station officials would not release the name of the man in custody. No other information is available at this time.
