Police said a Denton man robbed a Walgreens in High Point but was stopped by officers in the parking lot.
It happened on January 18 at the Walgreens on N. Main Street.
According to a report, a man came up to the counter with items from the store and then demanded cash out of the register. Police said the cashier told the suspect, 37-year-old Jonathan Hulin, multiple times that the drawer could not be opened.
Workers said Hulin then positioned himself so it looked like he had a weapon in his pocket. The cashier stepped away to call the police when another employee came to help.
Police said when Hulin realized he wasn't going to get any money, he tried to run from the store. Officers caught him in the parking lot and said Hulin resisted and assaulted them. Police said they found an open knife in his pocket.
Police said they took Hulin to the hospital for minor injuries, where he fought and assaulted officers again.
Hulin is now out of the hospital and in High Point Jail with no bond. He's been charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, two counts of assault on a government official, and resisting a public officer.
