Malhotra was also charged in Niles for a similar armed robbery. Niles police said Malhotra pulled out a hypodermic needle during the incident, pointed it at the worker and said, "You don't want what I have."
He and an unidentified woman left the store and got into a light-colored vehicle. Police said they got away with about $600 in over-the-counter meds.
