As I arrived at Everett Avenue the police presence was well known. Three cars were strewn down Everett Avenue. The first one was lit up in Jack in the box parking lot and two more towards Walnut. As we proceeded down Broadway there was an officer posted on every corner and a block east and west all the way beyond 19Th Street. The Everett Police had assistance from the Washington State Patrol with on car posted on the Southeast corner of Clark park.
It seems that a young man wearing a grey hoodie, loose fit blue jeans and an intricate back pack entered the Walgreens. After entering the suspect started waiving a gun and demanding Oxycontin. The suspect was given several bottles of the drug and escaped. The dog seemed to be very interested in the alley behind the OK mart gas station, approximately two blocks away. At this point, nobody has been arrested in this case, and it is still at large.
I am about to lead into a small amount of opinion.
I have to believe that the suspect has some internal knowledge of Walgreen's Oxycontin handling protocol. Oxycontin has been placed in time lock safes for about a year and a half, due to the increasing violence surrounding the highly addictive drug. In order for the suspect to have gotten the Oxycontin He would have had to know when the safe would be open.
Oxycontin is a form of synthetic heroin, that the Everett area has seen abused extensively. The Oxycontin pills have been sold on the street for about a dollar a milligram. With the pills ranging in dosages of 20, 40 , 60 , and 80mg, the individual dollar amount of the drug can be as high as $80 per pill.
Most recently the available Oxycontin has had an ingredient added to curb the most common form of abuse. The added ingredient prevents the pill from being smoked on aluminum foil. This has in turn raised the value of the original Oxycontin two times.
This left the traffic extremely snarled on Hewitt Ave. . The number nine bus sat in traffic for approximately twenty minutes before being able to continue its route South to Everett Mall Station.
