No bond has been set and, according to police, other charges against him are pending. Horse Cave Police Chief Alan Shirley said police received a call around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday that a robbery had occurred at the pharmacy and the robber had brandished a knife along with a note demanding controlled prescription drugs, such as Oxycontin and other drugs. After receiving the drugs, the robber fled on foot. Other witnesses observed the man getting into a red Camaro and leaving the scene, traveling southbound on U.S. 31W, Shirley said. A vehicle description, along with a license plate number was given to law enforcement agencies, he said. A short time later the car was discovered parked at a residence on Grinstead Mill Road in Cave City.
