DENVER -- Two suspects are in custody after Lincoln County Sheriff's detectives said they tried to rob the CVS Pharmacy at 2128 Highway 16 North Friday morning after robbing the pharmacy Wednesday afternoon.

A white male dressed in all black clothing entered the store around 9:20 a.m.and approached the pharmacy and demanded drugs. The suspect did not show a weapon and no one in the store was injured

The clerk yelled for security over the store intercom and the man fled the scene without any drugs. He ran out the front door, and around behind the store before disappearing into a wooded area. The pharmacist followed the man and got a description of a vehicle he was in.

The suspect got into a white Volkswagen Jetta occupied by another person parked on Fairfield Forest Road. Sgt Martin Hill located the vehicle as it pulled onto Highway 16 from Lake Shore Road South.

He stopped the vehicle near the ABC Store at Highway 16/73 and placed a white male and white female in custody. They were also involved in the earlier incident on Wednesday as well. They were interviewed at the Sheriff’s Office and charged with the crimes.

On Wednesday, a white male using the same procedures robbed the pharmacy of pain killer drugs. He was described as 5 feet – 7 inches tall, with short cropped hair and wearing a dark blue jacket, jeans and a dark colored shirt.

Detectives charged Ryan Joseph Bauman, 23, of 7487 Pilot Cove Ct., Denver with one felony count of Robbery with A Dangerous Weapon for the Wednesday incident and one felony count of Attempted Common Law Robbery for the robbery attempt today. He is under a $30,000 secured bond.
