Nationwide manhunt for "Handsome Bandit" ORC suspect hitting
Walgreens nationwide ends - arrested in Idaho The
well-dressed Colorado suspect hitting Walgreens stores
nationwide, reported in the Daily on April 26, was finally
arrested in Idaho after Walgreen's nationwide alert led to a
Minnesota Walgreen clerk recognizing him and noting the
license plate of the rental car he was driving. Stealing
teeth-whitening strips, weight-loss pills, condoms, Rogaine,
and other products the 27-year-old male, Curtis M. Williams
had also hit stores in Utah, Minnesota, Florida, Idaho,
Kansas, Nebraska, and Puerto Rico. Authorities say a neatly
groomed man wearing a sweater, tie and slacks would hide
stolen goods in his coat, then buy a DVD before leaving the
store as a cover for activating the door alarm. He remains
jailed Friday and it isn't known if he has a lawyer.
Jefferson County investigators said Williams stole thousands
of dollars worth of teeth whitening strips, weight loss
pills, Rogaine, and condoms from 18 stores in 12
jurisdictions up and down the Front Range. The man appeared
sharply dressed in several surveillance photos.
