NASHVILLE, Tennessee (WSMV) — A man was arrested for attempting to rob a Walgreens and fighting an employee there in the process.
According to the arrest affidavit, 32-year-old Derrick Bailey walked into the Walgreens on Dickerson Pike last Thursday (4/7) wearing a plastic grocery bag over his head. He then went behind the counter and began grabbing packs of Newport cigarettes from the shelf.
