Man arrested after burglarizing Bloomfield pharmacy

BLOOMFIELD, Mo. -- A Stoddard County man was in jail Wednesday following his arrest for allegedly burglarizing Town Pharmacy in Bloomfield.

According to a probable cause statement filed by Bloomfield assistant police chief Cody Wheetley, Daniel Phillip Winter, 29, broke into the pharmacy Friday night with the intention of stealing hydrocodone pills.

The report said Winter stole 483 pills. Of that number, 232 pills were generic hydrocodone, 198 were Vicodin and 53 were 7.5 mg hydrocodone.

The report does not say how Winter entered the pharmacy, only that he "left the same way he came in." Once outside, he reportedly spotted police officers, jumped off the roof and fled the scene.

He was arrested a short time later in a wooded area about one block away from the pharmacy.

Winter is charged with burglary, two counts of stealing, two counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of felony property damage.

He is at the Stoddard County Jail in Bloomfield in lieu of a $250,000 cash-only bond.
