JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -

Jacksonville police recently arrested a man they called a busy bandit.

Police said Craig Greene robbed three pharmacies in different parts of town in less than two hours.

Officers said Greene started his crime spree at the Walgreens on Park Street, where he handed the pharmacy clerk a note threatening to shoot everyone if he didn't get Xanax.

An hour later, police said Greene went to the CVS on Roosevelt Boulevard and did the same thing, only that time he made off with Hydrocodone.

Police said a half-hour later, Greene's luck ran out at the Walgreens on Townsend Boulevard in Arlington.

That's where police said they caught him in the act and took him into custody.

Green is charged with armed robbery.
