“Michael Todd, 30, whose band was the scheduled opening act for tonight’s headliner Soundgarden, is accused of being the robber who held up the Walgreen’s on Pleasant Street in Attleboro just before 1 p.m., according to authorities.
Attleboro police say a man wearing black shorts and a blue T-shirt asked to speak to a pharmacist and then showed her a note on his cell phone.
“He told her he had a bomb and that he wanted pills,” Attleboro Detective Sgt. Arthur Brillon said the note read.
The robber fled the pharmacy, which had other customers inside at the time, with about six bottles of pain pills, Brillon said. Shortly afterward, a witness saw a man with the same description running from the former Del’s Lemonade stand a short distance away from the pharmacy and get into a mini-van style cab, Brillon said.
Attleboro police dispatchers identified the cab company out of Sharon and learned about 15 minutes later that a fare had been picked up and brought to the Comcast Center to the tour bus area.”
