Police: Teen threatened CVS employees with gun to steal narcotics

A man was arrested Sunday after police said he threatened CVS employees with a gun to steal narcotics.

Zackory Hammond, 18, was charged with aggravated robbery, according to court documents.

Police said Hammond entered a CVS store in Harrison Friday and passed a note to pharmacists indicating he had a gun and would hurt them if they pulled the alarm.

His note also stated the pharmacists had two minutes to give him all he wanted, before he killed himself and everyone else in the store, according to court documents.

Hammond demanded all the Oxycontin, Vicodin, Xanax and Percocet they had in the store, police said. After pharmacists gave him approximately 1,000 pills, Hammond fled on foot, according to court documents.

Hammond was arraigned Monday and is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $50,000 bond.
