PALM HARBOR - A man and woman were arrested Thursday and accused of trying to rob a Winn-Dixie pharmacy, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.
Autumn C. Jurkowski, 21, and Ian Gregory Wild, 29, tried to rob the store at 33650 U.S. 19, officials said. Deputies said this is what happened: Jurkowski, of Bayonet Point, handed the pharmacist on duty a handwritten note saying she wanted all "type II substances in full bottles." The note indicated that both Jurkowski and Wild, whose last known address is Beaverton, Ore., had guns. After noticing that Jurkowski didn't have a gun, the pharmacist crouched under a desk and called 911. Jurkowski then ran toward an exit and rode off in an older model green Dodge Intrepid. Deputies caught the pair at 5:55 p.m. at Alt. U.S. 19 and Michigan Avenue. Both Jurkowski and Wild are charged with attempted armed robbery. Their bail is $10,000 each.
