Cops: Robber foiled in prescription pill heists in NSB and Edgewater

Newspaper Section

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- A 27-year-old Rockledge man was unlucky in two pharmacy robbery attempts of prescription pills earlier today, first in Edgewater, then in New Smyrna Beach, police said.

New Smyrna Beach Police Sgt. Eugene Griffith said Jeremy Carman was arrested shortly before noon in the parking lot of the Publix supermarket, 1930 State Road 44, after he left the pharmacy empty-handed after passing a note implying he was armed. When he didn't get an immediate response he walked out to his light green 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlas and was taken into custody without incident.
