Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies were called May 30 to a robbery at the Kroger pharmacy at 3520 W. Siebenthaler Ave.
A man, later identified as Addison, went to the pharmacy counter and forced an employee at gunpoint to give him two bottles of liquid hydrocodone, according to an affidavit filed in Vandalia Municipal Court.

“The suspect threatened the employee with a firearm and struck them in the face with the weapon,” the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said.
About three hours after the robbery, deputies responded to a report of a suspicious person near Markey Road and Anniston Drive.
“The suspect was said to be displaying a firearm and walking down the roadway,” according to Vandalia Municipal Court records.
Deputies spoke to the man who reportedly matched the description of the suspect in the Kroger robbery. He later was identified as Addison.
Clothing Addison reportedly wore during the robbery was found on the back porch of his parents’ house, which was within walking distance of where he was taken into custody. Addison denied involvement in the robbery, but admitted the clothes were his, court records stated.
