This is a shocking story. "EDMOND, Okla. — Police have arrested an attorney from Edmond on numerous charges after they say he robbed the same pharmacy three times within an 11-minute time span.
Authorities said Robert Behlen, 50, swallowed painkillers before leaving Barrett Drug Center for the final time on Tuesday morning. Police later arrested Behlen at his home on complaints of armed robbery, kidnapping and pointing a firearm.
Edmond police spokeswoman Glynda Chu said Behlen pointed the gun at employees and took several bottles of painkillers from the pharmacy, going in and out of the business three times in quick fashion. Chu said when officers found Behlen at his home, he did not cooperate and an officer used a Taser weapon on Behlen while making the arrest.
State court records list Behlen as an attorney on dozens of civil litigation cases. A phone message left at Behlen’s law office Wednesday morning was not immediately returned.
Chu said Behlen was taken to Edmond Medical Center after his arrest. He was released from the hospital Wednesday morning and processed by Edmond police before being taken to the Oklahoma County jail, she said. "
