Officers said he threatened to get violent if the pharmacist didn’t cooperate.

“It makes you do a triple take, like, what’s really going on?” Publix shopper Daniel Foster told Channel 2’s Ryan Young.

Young was at the store as detectives were dusting for fingerprints.

In the end, the man only got away with some aspirin, detectives said.
