Police say they arrested a drug store robbery suspect thanks to a GPS device inside the prescription pill bottles he took.

Owasso Police say Grant Miller, 25, of Bartlesville told employees he had a gun and stole prescription pain medications from the CVS Pharmacy at 12902 East 96th Street North at about 3 a.m.  

Police say the tracking device in the bottles led officers to Matthews' SUV and a chase began. Police said the chase ended in Washington County on North 4000 Road near Vera when Matthews got out and ran. Police arrested him after a struggle.

Police said they recovered the stolen medication and a .22-caliber handgun believed used in the robbery.  

They said the struggle injured both Matthews and one of the officers and both were treated at an Owasso hospital.

Police booked Miller into jail on complaints of Armed Robbery, Eluding and Driving Under the Influence, Possession of a Stolen Vehicle and Resisting. He's being held on a $60,000 bond.
