LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Four Louisville men have been arrested after police say two of them forced their way into a home and demanded prescription drugs.

According to several arrest reports, police say 19-year-old Reginald Z. Johnson and 22-year-old Dominique C. Richardson were armed with handguns Wednesday afternoon when they forced entry into a home on Farnsley Road, near Cane Run Road.

Once inside, police say the pair demanded prescription pills.

But officers arrived on the scene, and both Richardson and Johnson allegedly fled the scene, tossing their weapons as they ran. Both men were apprehended.

Police also spotted a red Pontiac Grand Am driving the wrong way on a one-way street nearby. They arrested the occupants -- 19-year-old Jocorey Ritchie and 19-year-old Deshawn Farrell -- who were also allegedly involved in the robbery. Police say Ritchie was the suspects' driver and Farrell acted as a lookout.

All four men have been charged with robbery.
