Police
said John Wilkinson, 24, of Big Spring, did just that after he
allegedly robbed the Stanton Drug Store of Zanax and hydrocodine.
They said Wilkinson used a caulking gun, wrapped in a dark cloth, to get the drugs Thursday afternoon.
Afterward, he allegedly headed back to his
vehicle, which was parked and running in front of the drug store, and
discovered he was locked out, the Midland Reporter-Telegram reported in
its online edition Thursday.
Stanton
Police Chief Mike Adams said Wilkinson then tried to get away on foot.
Police, who thought he had a gun, shot him in the top of his shoulder
during the short chase.
Wilkinson
was treated at the Midland Memorial Hospital and taken to the Martin
County Jail on a charge of armed robbery. A jail official said late
Thursday he did not know whether Wilkinson had an attorney.
