On Monday night, September 9, a white male entered Macey’s grocery store located at 760 E. Main St. in Lehi at 8 p.m. and walked over to the in-store pharmacy. The male then “alluded to the fact” that he had a firearm and that he was seeking prescription drugs. Assorted drugs were handed over to the male, who then fled on foot, according to Chad Ray, Lehi Police Department Sergeant.

The male, who was described as a 5’4”, 170-pound man with a short build, did not, in fact, have a firearm, according to Ray. Lehi Police was called, and other police agencies also responded including American Fork, Saratoga Springs, Alpine Highland, and the Utah Highway Patrol.
