BULLHEAD CITY It wasnt your average Sunday afternoon at the CVS Pharmacy in Bullhead Citys Riverview Mall as one employee was injured in a scuffle when a man demanded he be given syringes.

At approximately 2:30 p.m., Miguel Angel Rocha, 43, entered the store, allegedly yelling profanities at the pharmacy clerks and demanding a package of syringes. As the clerks were attempting to ask him if he had a prescription, Rocha continued to yell and curse at them, demanding syringes.

Rocha then allegedly climbed over the counter and lunged at a male employee who was holding a package of syringes. According to a police report, Rocha held the victim by the neck as he was attempting to grab the syringes.
