A Briceville man told Anderson County deputies that two men beat him up and stole his medications as he was walking home from Shop-Rite in Lake City on Tuesday afternoon.
A deputy had reported that the victim, who had bought a pack of cigarettes at Shop-Rite, was found lying next to Briceville Highway at Beech Grove Lane, an Anderson County Sheriff’s Department report said.
The 25-year-old victim said the two men pulled up behind him in a black truck, got out and beat him up, and took 60 oxycodone and 30 MS Contin pills, the report said. They also stole a pack of L&M cigarettes and $7 cash, the victim told Deputy Joshua I. Zisman.
The victim told Zisman he did not know the men and did not see them leave. He was taken by ambulance to Methodist Medical Center after the alleged robbery.
Daniel Powers says
If he didn’t know the people, makes you wonder if they watched him buy it and followed him. It would be worth considering, maybe a review of security footage and have him see if he can pick them out of the video. Just a thought.
John Huotari says
The report said the victim went to Shop-Rite to buy cigarettes. It didn’t say whether he bought the medications there or already had them. I would imagine security video footage could be helpful if Shop-Rite has cameras.
