The person whom WGNS spoke with is not a convicted felon and his name does not appear adversely on the pharmaceutical database that allows customers to purchase products containing pseudoephedrine. The customer was following state procedure when he approached the cash register with the card for the drug and driver’s license in hand.

WGNS spoke to the daytime pharmacist at Walgreens on Monday who was both pleasant and helpful, however he could not comment on the situation. In fact, he referred us to a corporate office for Walgreens. There, we left a message, but have not received a follow up call.  

Additional Complaints:

It is important to note that WGNS did see similar stories on FaceBook that involved nearly identical complaints at the same Walgreens during the evening hours. However, those complaints were not confirmed.
