Pharmacy heist, chase ends in arrest

GREENWOOD, Ind. (WISH) - A witness’s good description of a suspect’s getaway vehicle is being credited with helping Greenwood police make an arrest following the robbery of a Walgreens store Wednesday at 700 S. U.S. Highway 31.

Police were called to the pharmacy at 10:21 p.m. Wednesday after employees reported a man robbed the store at gunpoint.

A witness followed the armed suspect out of the store and was able to provide police with a description of the getaway vehicle.

Within minutes, officers located a vehicle matching the same description and attempted to stop it. Police say the driver led them on a short pursuit through the Valle Vista neighborhood just south of Smith Valley Road. The suspect tried to lose the officers by driving through yards and eventually bailed out on foot.

Police checked the vehicle’s registration and went to its registered owner’s home where they found a man matching the description of the robber.

Police took the man, Jason Matthew Gray, into custody. He was booked into the Johnson County Jail.
