BOONE ARREST REPORT

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a Mary Esther man in connection with a robbery that occurred this morning at the Walmart Pharmacy located at 15017 Emerald Coast Parkway in Destin.

31-year old Joshua Brian Boone of Casa Loma Drive was arrested shortly after he robbed the Walmart Pharmacy in Destin at 10:30 a.m. Boone waited for customers to leave the pharmacy area and then gave the clerk a handwritten note demanding “Oxy”. He did not show a weapon but put his hand in his jacket implying he had a weapon and threatened the clerk. He then fled the store with the Oxycodone and left in a silver vehicle, described as a Kia Soul.

At 2:30 p.m. an investigator spotted a silver Kia Soul in the rear parking lot of Panini Pete’s at 1071 E. US Hwy 98 and observed items in the car that were similar to the ones used during the robbery. They made contact with Boone in the kitchen where he was working and he attempted to flee out a back door but was quickly apprehended. Investigators found several Oxycodone pills and other drug paraphernalia in his shirt pocket at the time of his arrest.

Witnesses at Walmart positively identified Boone as the man who committed the robbery a few hours earlier.
