NEW LONDON, WI (WTAQ) – New London police are putting out a sketch of a man they say robbed a pharmacy at gunpoint.
Authorities say it happened on Wednesday May 13 around 2:30 p.m. at Jernegan’s Health Mart Pharmacy. Witnesses say the man pointed a gun at employees and demanded prescription meds and money.
The man fled the pharmacy, 1301 S. Mill Street, with a small amount of prescription pills but no cash.
Police describe the suspect as a white man who’s at least 45-years-old. He’s between 6’0″ and 6’2″ and weighed between 190 and 210 pounds. The suspect had blue eyes and a flat-top haircut. He also was described as having a big nose with a “rough and heavy-looking” face.
At the time of the robbery, the man wore a black ski jacket with a hood that extended beyond his face and wrapped around his chin area, dark blue carpenter jeans and white tennis shoes.
Police indicate the man’s gun was described as a smaller caliber semi-automatic handgun, not a .45. It was silver and black, but not shiny, with black trim and a black grip.
His vehicle is described as a beat-up black Dodge pickup truck, likely from the 1995-2000 model years. It had a short box with no cap and a black bumper. The wheel well on the passenger side was rotted out.
If you have any information about this suspect, you’re asked to call New London police at (920) 982-8505.
