ARMED MAN STEALS EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVE

Police are searching for an armed robber who stole three boxes of an emergency contraceptive last Monday evening at a Walgreens pharmacy in Edmond, Oklahoma. The male suspect – wearing a motorcycle helmet and gloves – entered the Walgreen around 8:30 PM and placed three packages of the emergency contraceptive Take Action into a drawstring bag. Each package – which retails for about $40 – contains one dose of the over-the-counter product, which is intended to reduce the chance of pregnancy following unprotected sex or a contraceptive mishap. A store manager approached the man and asked him to hand over the items. The man then brandished a small handgun and fled the store on a motorcycle.
* Too cheap to buy a condom, but willing to risk armed robbery.
* Three boxes! Sounds like he was planning on having a pretty good night.
* Take Action? Sounds like he’s already getting plenty of action.
* If only the clerks had as much protection.
