A Florida man has been charged with several felonies and Fastexy Exchangea misdemeanor after police say he threatened a CVS pharmacy, asking for "all bottles" of Viagra, Adderall and other drugs.
Thomas Mues, 23, walked into an Orlando CVS on Friday and handed the pharmacists a note stating he was conducting an armed robbery, Orlando police said.
He instructed the pharmacist to bag the available bottles they have of controlled drugs, or else he would shoot the person closest to him. After being handed the bag, he left the store and was arrested by police following a short foot pursuit.
Police say he admitted to traveling from Jacksonville to Orlando to carry out this plan and confessed to a similar robbery elsewhere in central Florida.
In his confession, Mues said he did not have a weapon on him at the time, according to court records.
Mues has been charged with robbery in a mask with a deadly weapon, and four other charges for trafficking or possessing controlled drugs. He also faces a misdemeanor for resisting arrest without violence. He has pleaded not guilty to the felony charges and the attorney listed for him did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's emailed request for comment Wednesday.

'This is a armed robbery!'
The arrest affidavit shows that Mues entered the CVS, walked straight to the pharmacy, and brought it to a worker at the counter. At first, she didn't read the note, she told police, and instead began asking the routine questions. Mues kept asking her to read the note, according to the affidavit.
The note, posted on X by the Orlando Police Department, said the following:
"THIS IS A ARMED ROBBERY!!!
- "Please cooperate, I don't want to hurt you.
- "You are not to alarm anybody or I will shoot the closest person to me!
- "Please follow these directions or I will shoot the closes person to me!
"BAG THE Following
- "Oxycodone...(All bottles)
- "Hydrocodone...(All bottles)
- "Xanax...(All bottles)
- "Adderall...(All bottles)
- "Liquid Codeine/Prometh (All bottles)
- "Viagra (All bottles)
"When finished, place note in bag and lay down or I will shoot."

Store manager received text that pharmacy was being robbed
According to the arrest affidavit, as one pharmacy worker filled bags with the drugs requested in the note, another took a picture and texted the store manager that they were being robbed. The store manager then called law enforcement.
The people working at the pharmacy fulfilled the request in the note, putting it back in the bag when they were finished collecting the drugs and handing it to the defendant, according to the affidavit.
Police said they confronted him as he was leaving the store and caught up with him on foot while he was still holding the bag and the note.
The affidavit says he confessed and apologized to the store workers.
