A man wearing socks on his hands and draped in a blanket robbed a Wal-Mart pharmacy on the Southeastside last night, police said.
Ty Stroub, 27, Indianapolis, was preliminarily charged with robbery, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
Stroub allegedly approached the pharmacy counter at the Wal-Mart at 3805 S. Keystone Ave. at 6:10 p.m. and demanded the painkiller, Fentanyl.
The clerk told police the bandit was wrapped in a brown blanket with socks on his hands.
The clerk gave the robber the drugs and he left the store. Police found the blanket outside, then talked to a pizza delivery driver who said he gave Stroub a lift to a nearby hotel.
Police went to the hotel, America's Best Value Inn, 3401 S. Keystone Ave., and asked to look at security tape. They saw the pizza car pull up to the entrance and a man matching the description of the pharmacy robber enter.
The man was a guest of the hotel and police went to his room, where they found Stroub and another man inside.
