The bassist of the band Coheed and Cambria was arrested after allegedly robbing a Massachusetts Walgreens of several bottles of oxycodone. According to police, the 30-year-old walked into the Walgreens, showed the pharmacist a note on his smartphone claiming he had a bomb, and demanded Oxycotin.

When the pharmacist said she did not have any Oxycotin, he allegedly said, "I'll take your Perc 30's," referring to 30 milligram Percocet pills. The pharmacist gave the suspect several bottles of the drug and he left.

The suspect then allegedly hailed a cab, which took him to a luxury bus parked at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, where Coheed and Cambria were to open for Soundgarden. Police spotted a fresh trail through the weeds behind the Walgreens, and a witness stated they allegedly saw a man run from the store and get into the cab.

Police tracked down the fare through the name of the cab company, which led them to the tour bus. Police arrested the suspect, who at first denied he was involved, but allegedly admitted his guilt when confronted with video surveillance.

He is being held on $25,000 bail because of his out of state residence (New York) and a previous drug charge. He has been charged with armed robbery and possession of a class B
controlled substance.

The bassist was previously convicted of drug possession in Florida in 2004 and has a conviction for operating under the influence in New York. He also allegedly has battled a heroin addiction in the past.
