OXYCONTIN MOTIVATES ARMED ROBBERY
Posted: February 6th, 2010 3:48 PM
Clackamas County Sheriff's respond to an armed robbery motivated by desire to obtain OxyContin. This afternoon (02/05/2010) at 1:09 pm a lone woman went into the Walgreen's Pharmacy, 9159 SE 82nd Ave., in unincorporated Clackamas County south of the City of Portland. The female talked with the Pharmacist, said she had a gun and would shoot if she did not receive OxyContin. OxyContin is Purdue Pharma's brand for time-release single-ingredient oxycodone oral medication. Oxycodone is an opioid analgesic medication synthesized from opium-derived thebaine. OxyContin is designed to provide a sustained analgesic property (reduces the effects of intense pain). OxyContin is highly addictive, most abusers of the drug crush the tablets in a effort to defeat the time release function.
The woman is described as a white woman, 5'11" to 6' tall, she is further described as a have a darker complexion with bruising and or discoloration on the left side of her face. This bruising is consistent with a person who is addicted to Opiate drugs like OxyContin. As a person suffering from an addiction, she will do just about anything to get the drug she craves, and as such she is potentially dangerous. This woman claims to be armed and caution should be used when she is located or spotted by citizens. The female was seen wearing a gray "hoody" sweatshirt pulled down over her hands. The woman fled on foot in an unknown direction from the Walgreen's and no vehicle was witnessed leaving the area. The robbery was captured on video and the video will be given to the press when it is available. The investigation is continuing and will followed up on by Clackamas County Robbery Detectives.
