“They did a great job,” pharmacy owner Cliff Holt said. “I can’t say enough about our Hurricane Police Department. They caught the guy right away. That’s perfect.”
No one was harmed during the incident.
Persons arrested or charged are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law or as otherwise decided by a trier-of-fact.
