Florida man accused of stealing hydrocodone made off with laxatives instead



Peter Emery Jr., 56, was caught on camera opening a lockbox containing pills, grabbing one labeled "hydrocodone acetaminophen" and taking a few, according to a police report.

When a Pinellas Park police officer confronted him, Emery reportedly admitted to taking two pills but threw the rest in the garbage when he learned they were different pills.
.
They were Equate over-the-counter gentle laxatives, which are marketed to be "ideal for resolving constipation or minor cases of indigestion."
.
Emery was arrested Thursday, Jan. 24, and charged with petty theft. Records show he last was convicted of theft in November 2015 and January 2014.
