Tampa Fla April 19 2009 – Police have arrested a man accused of trying to rob a pharmacy by saying he had in his pocket a needle filled with the AIDS virus.
Anton Francis Ziherle, 23, of no known address, was held without bail today at Orient Road Jail, charged with felony armed robbery. He has been on probation since March for three other robbery charges, Tampa police said.
Working with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, police arrested Ziherle late Friday in connection with Thursday’s robbery attempt at Westcoast Pharmacy, 8439 N. Florida Ave.
A person recognized Ziherle from the store’s security footage detectives had released to the media and called police after watching a newscast, police said.
Police said Ziherle had demanded Oxycodone from the pharmacy, but the staff there argued with him and scared him away. He did not display a syringe or any other weapon at the time.
During his arrest, detectives found syringes in his possession, but there was no evidence of any substance inside them, police said.
Ziherle also was charged with felony carjacking. He is accused of knocking down a woman and stealing her car from the parking lot of a Wendy’s restaurant at North 15th Street and East Fowler Avenue, police said.
