Florida armed robber demands Viagra, other prescription drugs with peculiar handwritten note: police

Orlando police say a 23-year-old man used a detailed note to rob a CVS pharmacy of six various drugs- including Viagra.

A 23-year-old Florida man is facing charges after police say he handed pharmacy employees a note demanding a laundry list of prescription drugs, including Viagra.

The Orlando Police Department said Thomas Mues handed a handwritten note to pharmacists at a CVS store around 6 p.m. indicating he had a gun and would shoot them if he was not provided the pills listed on the note.

"THIS IS A (sic) ARMED Robbery!!!" Mues wrote in the note, according to police. "Please cooperate, I don't want to hurt you. You are not to alarm anybody or I will shoot the closest person to me! Please follow these directions or I will shoot the closest person to me!"

Investigators described the robbery note as "detailing a long list of very specific demands," with six types of drugs listed and instructions.

The 23-year-old demanded that pharmacists place Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Xanax, Adderall, liquid codeine and Viagra into a bag.

According to a news release, officers arrived at the scene as Mues was walking out of the store. Officers chased him on foot, and eventually took him into custody
