Law enforcement officers from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office and Maryland State Police responded to reports of a burglar alarm at the King’s Pharmacy in the Woodbine Shopping Center just before 2 a.m. Nov. 27.

A review of surveillance video showed two masked, gloved men shatter the window, enter the pharmacy, and remove numerous medications after loading them into a sack, according to the press release. Additional investigation at the scene revealed that the rear door lock to an adjacent business, Cattails Country Florist had a hole drilled in the locking mechanism, however no entry was gained.

Norwood was charged with second degree burglary; conspiracy to commit second degree burglary; theft greater than $1,000, malicious destruction of property less than $500; malicious destruction of property more than $500 and conspiracy to commit malicious destruction of property.

Norwood is currently detained at the Carroll County Detention Center while awaiting a bail review.
