Suspect Caught After Toy Gun Stick-Up
Key West Police recovered nearly $4,800 in stolen prescription drugs Tuesday night after a Key West man allegedly robbed a local pharmacy at “gunpoint”.
At 7:35 p.m. police responded to a call at the CVS at Overseas Market. When officers arrived, the victim told them a man had pointed a gun at her as she worked behind the pharmacy counter, demanding she hand over the schedule II narcotics. The suspect filled a backpack with the drugs and fled the store, running through a nearby Chinese restaurant seeking a back door.
Officers quickly located Terrence Dickinson, 44, behind the shopping center near a dumpster. He surrendered to police, dropping the two backpacks he was carrying. Once he was handcuffed, police asked him about the gun. He told them it was near the dumpster and that it was a toy.
Officers quickly located the gun and discovered that it was, indeed, a toy with the orange safety tip painted over. The stolen pills were found in one of the backpacks and in Dickinson’s pockets.
Dickinson was transported to the Monroe County Detention Center where he was charged with four felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, one felony count of robbery with a firearm, one felony count of grand theft, and two misdemeanor charges.

Will be waiting to see if and do mean IF he posts bond will they then add charges such as possession of narcotics. They can do this to break him of money he might use on a lawyer. Then put him right back behind bars. And yes behind bars is where he belongs. Some crimes where there is no question of guilt should not be a bond.
And yes likely another victim of affordable housing. Low income forces people to do what they might normally not risk.
And them drugs are basically not recovered as now can’t be sold. Also note that price is the retail price by the pill.
