CLEVELAND, TN (WRCB) -- Just before 10 o'clock Thursday morning, a white male walked into Bi-Lo at Ocoee Crossing in Cleveland, TN, walked up to the pharmacy and told the employees that he has a gun and to let him in.

The pharmacist opened the door to the pharmacy and the man walked in and took prescription medication.
