FOLEY, Ala. -- Foley police are on the lookout for a man they say is looking for Oxycontin. "An addict goes to desperate measures to get what he wants and he's obviously done this," said Lt. David White with the Foley Police Department.

What this suspect did -- was attempt an armed robbery at the Foley Rite Aid Store on South McKenzie. Police say he walked to the back of the store and passed the pharmacist a note demanding two bottles of Oxycontin.
