Guy walked in, stole my painkillers, Sharon man tells police


A Sharon man was robbed of pain medication by a man with a knife Sunday night at his home, police said.


Police said a 40-year-old man was in his second-floor apartment in the 300 block of Lafayette Avenue when a man walked in about 9 p.m., brandished a large knife and said ’I want your pills.’

The man, whose weapon was about 12 inches long, walked straight to the coffee table where a bottle of about 130 Oxycodone pills was, grabbed them and walked back toward the stairs, police said.

The owner of the pills tried to stop the robber and they struggled down the steps, police said.

The robber got outside and ran north on Lafayette with the victim chasing him, police said. The robber jumped into a small, black car parked on the street and driven by a woman and it sped away, police said.

Police said no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.

No one has been charged in the robbery but police have a suspect.

The victim described the robber as a white male, about 21 years old of small build with short hair.

Police said the victim did not know the man but a 22-year-old visiting the house said he might.

Police did not release information about the robbery until Friday because the policeman who handled it was out of the office and the report wasn’t finished.

The robbery doesn’t appear to be related to one March 21 in the city in which two men put a knife to a man’s throat, police said.

A 28-year-old man was robbed shortly before 10 p.m. in an alley between South Oakland and New Castle avenues. The man was beaten and the robbers took his cash.

The victim described the robbers as black males, both age 19 or 20, and wearing dark pants and white hoodies or jackets
