A 24-year-old Oakfield woman is being held on $25,000 bail after being accused of robbing a pharmacy this afternoon.
Elizabeth Marie Hamby, 24, of Forest Avenue, is charged with first-degree robbery as well as second-degree robbery.
Hamby is the person initially taken into custody this afternoon after local law enforcement was notified of the robbery.
She reportedly fled from the pharmacy on Main Street in Oakfield to a house less than a block away on Forest Avenue.
A witness saw her leave and go to that location.
A clerk at the pharmacy reportedly suffered minor fingernail cuts in a scuffle with the suspect.
Hamby allegedly made off with $400.
Investigators say Hamby entered the pharmacy and appeared to be shopping for a while and then approached the clerk, displaying what appeared to be a pistol and a knife. She allegedly demanded money.
Deputies and troopers quickly responded to the scene and surrounded the house where the suspect was believed to be hiding.
She's scheduled to appear in Town of Oakfield Court again at 2 p.m., Nov. 26.
