BILLINGS - Viewers helped nab the man police say tried to rob a Walgreens pharmacy Monday.

Just before 11 o'clock Monday night Billings police arrested 31-year-old Joshua Wright at a home on North 31st St. They said the arrest came after this surveillance video was aired on t.v. prompting several anonymous calls tipping off authorities to his whereabouts.

Police said Wright walked into the store at 1330 Grand Ave. just before three p.m. Monday and told the pharmacist he was in a lot of pain. Authorities said he demanded a specific pain killer which the pharmacist refused to give to him.

Police said Wright's wore a bib with Elmo on it, and had painted his face and neck green.

Wright is charged with felony attempted robbery and is held at the Yellowstone County Detention Facility.
