OXFORD, Miss. (WCBI) – Police say a pharmacy burglary is behind bars after trying to take pills that didn’t belong to him.

Police were able to identify Weathersbee after they released pictures from surveillance cameras at the pharmacy.

Weathersbee was also linked to a February 2019 car burglary.

He was charged with two counts of Commercial Burglary and Possession of Burglary Tools.
