FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana’s NewsCenter) - Fort Wayne Police arrested 28-year-old Marcus Manes for allegedly holding up the Stellhorn Road Walgreens late last month.

Manes is charged with robbery, after detectives say surveillance video shows him giving a store employee a note demanding the painkillers Fentanyl and Opana.

The suspect asked for the note back before leaving the scene in a BMW station wagon.

According to our partner in news, the Journal Gazette, police tracked down the owner of the car, who said she loaned it to Manes around the time of the robbery.

Manes is considered a suspect in at least two other pharmacy robberies, but has not been charged in those cases.
