The author, whose book about his life of robbing pharmacies to feed his drug addiction became a 1989 movie starring Matt Dillon, was arrested this week for robbing a Seattle-area pharmacy.

Fogle—who was wanted in connection with several other pharmacy heists—and an accomplice have been charged with first-degree armed robbery. -Seattle Times
