Cops hunt man who took tinkle on cough drops

Police say a man who couldn't get his prescription filled in a Florida Walgreens instead decided to relieve himself on packages of cough drops.

Police say a man who couldn't get his prescription filled in a Sanford Walgreens instead decided to relieve himself on packages of cough drops.

Cops are looking for the man who marked his territory inside the store around 10:30 Thursday, according to WESH.com.

Cameras caught him unzip his trousers and urinate on about $300 worth of merchandise. A clerk who went to stock the shelves in the area noticed a strong smell of urine in the area.

Police said the man didn’t appear to be drunk.

"He went to the pharmacy and tries to get a prescription but doesn't have the right paperwork. That's OK, at times you won't have the right things, but he does not appear to be drunk or intoxicated," said Sgt. David Morgenstern of the Sanford Police Department. "I don't know what the problem is, but he needed something, like he needs to go to jail for what he did. But he may need help because why would you urinate in Walgreens on cough drops?"
