An anonymous tip led investigators to Ryan Christopher Barrett, 19, of Meridian, police said. Barrett was taken into custody at his home, where police also found a 22-caliber revolver they say was used in the robbery of Medicap Pharmacy on Cherry Lane. He faces a charge of robbery and is being held in Ada County Jail, police said.
About 12:18 p.m. Saturday, a man pulled a black revolver and demanded a bottle of OxyContin, a prescribed drug used to treat chronic pain, from the pharmacist, police said.
