De Pere (WFRV) One man has been arrested in connection with an attempted robbery in De Pere.
De Pere Police say it happened just before 11 Saturday morning at the Walgreens store on Main
Avenue.
Officials say the suspect--- armed with a scissors--- demanded oxycontin after jumping the pharmacy counter.
Pharmacy employees refused his demands-- and the suspect ran from the store.
Green bay police say the vehicle description matched one involved in several incidents in their jurisdiction on the same day. Green Bay Officers later arrested 24-year-old Jonathon House in Hobart. Police say he confessed to investigators to the attempted robbery at Walgreens.
House is facing several charges including attempted armed robbery.
