LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville man was arrested after police said surveillance video at a local Walgreens showed him rob the pharmacy at gunpoint for two bottles of Xanax.

Police said Chad Harlamert, 24, walked into the Walgreens in Jeffersontown on Tuesday, Oct. 7, showed a small handgun and demanded Xanax. The pharmacist gave him two bottles before police said Harlamert ran from the store and got into the passenger side of a Ford EcoSport. The entire incident was captured on surveillance video.

Two days later, on Thursday, police said Harlamert returned to the area. He walked into Miso's Game Room and Collectibles, right across the street from Walgreens, where he "was involved in a separate armed robbery." Police said he was wearing similar clothing to when video captured him at Walgreens.

According to his arrest citation, Harlamert was arrested at his home on Stony Brook Drive. Officers also seized a black fanny pack he wore during the Walgreens robbery, the two bottles he received from the pharmacist and a Ruger .22 caliber revolver, the same type of gun used in the armed robbery. They also seized five figurines stolen from Miso's, as well as the Ford EcoSport.

Harlamert was charged with first-degree robbery and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. Police said he has prior convictions for facilitation to manslaughter and facilitation to robbery.
