Tulsa Police: Man Arrested After Stealing Prescription Pills From Drug Store

Tulsa Police arrested a man accused of stealing prescription pills from a Tulsa pharmacy late Monday.

Police identified him as Andrew Cockrell, 20.

He was booked into the Tulsa County jail on a complaint of robbery by force and fear. Jail records show Cockrell's bond is $50,000 with a court appearance set for September 4.
