Michael Todd, 30, of Anaheim, CA, and the bass player for the band Coheed and Cambria was arrested Sunday for allegedly robbing Walgreens Pharmacy in Attleboro.
At 1 p.m. Sunday, the Attleboro Police Department responded to the Walgreens on Pleasant Street for the report of a robbery.
Apparently being the opening act for Soundgarden, while entitling one to the appellation of "rock star", does not pay sufficiently well to have a doctor call in phony prescriptions. How weird must that concert have been to have seen the bassist get frog-marched out of the building for stealing oxy? Of course, it could have had a different ending - buddy of mine is a pharmacist, and he's always armed specifically because of Oxy and the lengths to which folks will go...
At least this story has a happy ending with the junkie in the pokie...
That is all.

Beter than a pokie in the junkie, I'd say...

Ha!
Makes my head hurt.
OTOH, as someone pointed out, it's a real stretch to call this moron a "Rock Star".
"Rock Start Wannabe", maybe. If he was a real Rock Star, he wouldn't need to hold up a Wal*Mart, he'd have "people" to do that. And he'd be in rehab, not jail, right now.
Just pointing that out!
Cokeheed & Cannabisia?
Wannabe is right... and a piss poor one at that...
Kind of a shame though. Coheed and Cambria did the neat music for the trailers for '9'. I know, small time, but that's how you pay your dues in the music business sometime. I've listened to some of their stuff and liked it.
Oh well. I suppose it beats dying of a overdose.
