When deputies arrived at the scene, they learned Addison had allegedly held a pharmacist at gunpoint and forced them to give him two bottles of liquid hydrocodone, according to an affidavit and statement of facts.

Deputies said Addison struck the employee in the face with the gun before leaving the store, according to a previous News Center 7 report.

A few hours later, deputies responded to reports of a person walking on the road with a gun in the area Markey and Addison avenues.

Addison was taken into custody and interviewed by investigators.

During his interview, the clothing Addison is believed to have been wearing during the robbery was found at his parent’s home, which was a short walk from where he was arrested.
