SANTA ANA Police arrested a 30-year-old man who walked into a CVS pharmacy and demanded OxyContin pills from an employee.

The robbery occurred around 5 p.m. Wednesday at 3911 South Bristol St. near Sunflower Avenue, said Santa Ana police Cmdr. Tammy Franks.

The robber told the pharmacist that he had a gun and demanded OxyContin. The pharmacist refused and the robber jumped the counter and struggled with the pharmacist until he complied. The pharmacist tricked the robber and gave him Tylenol instead of the painkiller, Franks said.

During the holdup, employees called 911. Arriving officers arrested Timothy Wade Voroshuck. He was booked on suspicion of robbery and false imprisonment at the Orange County Jail. He is being held in lieu of $145,000 bail.

The pharmacist did not sustain any injuries.

No gun was found at the scene.
