KNOX COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) -- An out-of-towner is in the Knox County Detention Center accused of holding up a pharmacy.

Around 1:00 p.m. Saturday deputies say Brian Tweed, 32, of Dayton, Ohio pulled a revolver on a clerk at the Hardin Valley Food City and demanded pain medication.

Witnesses say Tweed left through a side door and got into a Range Rover.

Less than an hour later, a deputy recognized the wanted car and arrested Tweed without incident.

The revolver and pain medication were still in the car.
