On Dec. 28 around 12:51 p.m., Murfreesboro Police dispatch received a 911 call of a robbery in progress at the Kroger Pharmacy on Northfield Boulevard.

Philip Perry, 50, of Murfreesboro, went to the pharmacy window, demanded a certain type of drug and told the clerk he had a gun.

The clerk followed his instructions and the robber left the store.

But as Perry approached the pharmacy window, another employee recognized him from a video of another robbery and called 911.

The employee gave a good description of the suspect and his actions, along with a description of the get-away vehicle, a gold Crown Marquis.

As Perry left the Kroger parking lot onto Broad Street, an MPD officer pulled Perry over and was arrested. A search of the Crown Marquis found a weapon and the stolen drugs.

During questioning, Perry confessed to the Kroger robbery, along with seven additional pharmacy robberies in Murfreesboro.

Perry was charged with two counts of armed robbery.
