Western New York Man Hid in Pharmacy to Steal Drugs

Man if this isn't the most dumbest thing i've seen today. Whoever has enough time on their hands to really 'HIDE' in a pharmacy really has no life. Well, that was the case for one Niagara Falls man who did just that.

According to Buffalo News, a man allegedly snuck into the basement of MacLeod’s Pharmacy and waited for the business to close so he could steal some prescription drugs.

An officer driving down Buffalo Avenue on Tuesday night heard an alarm sounding on the street just before 9:30 p.m. and came across Darren D. Lockett, who was walking away from MacLeod’s.

Lockett then threw some objects behind some bushes, according to the report.Those items included two boxes of Suboxone, which is used to treat opioid addiction; a bottle of Clonazepam and a bottle of Diazapan, both anti-anxiety drugs.

Police also found a yellow flashlight in Lockett’s pocket, the report said.Lockett, 36, lives around the corner from the pharmacy on South 87th Street. He was charged with third-degree burglary, as well as fourth- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
