The employee allegedly told police that they were afraid the man may have had a weapon on him as he was keeping one hand in his pocket.
The suspect fled after receiving a quantity of hydromophone pills.
A witness reportedly provided a description of the suspect and what direction he fled which helped police in identifying him.
