Drug stolen, suspect jailed
Young woman in hoodie robs local pharmacy
San Marcos — A 26-year-old Kyle woman is in Hays County Jail today in connection with the robbery of a San Marcos pharmacy on Thursday.
Shyla Mahmalji was taken into custody at her home around 3:30 p.m., about four hours after she walked into the B&J; Pharmacy on Moore Street and demanded morphine.
Witnesses said she was dressed in a hoodie and had one hand in her pocket, leading them to believe she had a weapon.
Pharmacist Craig Schapiro said the woman was given a “small amount” of the drug that San Marcos Police Commander Terry Nichols said was in liquid form.
Nichols said San Marcos and Kyle police were able to catch the woman because a pharmacy employee provided the license plate number of a car she was seen getting into after the robbery.
Schapiro said the employee jumped out of the drive-through window to get the plate number.
Nichols said no one was injured and as it turned out, the woman had not had a weapon.
Mahmalji faces one count of robbery. She remains jailed today under a $10,000 bond.
