One suspect was taken into custody while one suspect remained at large as of press time on Monday in connection with a pharmacy robbery in Clifton.

Early on Thursday morning, March 2, a Clifton Police Officer allegedly heard what he thought was a possible burglary in process at Willoughby Drugs, a pharmacy located on Main Street in Clifton. When the officer arrived on the scene, he allegedly saw two men exit the building and run. The suspects ran toward the Tennessee River, and reportedly fell or jumped off a bluff into the river.

A short while later, Lt. Timmy Harris of the Clifton Police Department was called to Country Girls Truck Stop to investigate a man walking down the highway wearing nothing but his underwear, a t-shirt, and socks. The man was allegedly soaking wet and had obvious bruises and knee injuries.

Upon further investigation, officers stated that the suspect, Cortez Deon Amison, age 21, of Bessemer, AL, had broken the front window of the pharmacy and stole a large amount of controlled meds. The second suspect, who has not yet been identified, remained at large on Monday. Clifton City officials stated that an investigation into the incident is ongoing, and TWRA is still searching the Tennessee River for any sign of the second suspect.

Amison was arrested on charges of aggravated burglary, evading arrest, and indecent exposure. He was booked into the Wayne County Jail and released on $61,000.00 bond.
