A man apparently became nervous when he noticed a police officer looking at him and threw away a bag containing some prescription medication he had stolen, the officer reported.

The officer noted that he was driving in the 2300 block of Roselawn Drive about 8 p.m. Tuesday and saw a man come out from behind some buildings and begin walking down the road. He was looking at the man in his rearview mirror to try to determine what he was doing, the officer wrote.

The man saw the squad car and pulled a small bag out of his pocket. Then he threw the bag in the bushes, the officer wrote.

He approached the squad car, and the officer asked the man what he was doing and what he had thrown away.

The man denied throwing anything. He said he was walking from his aunt’s house to his friend’s house, according to the report.

The officer walked with him to the place where he had seen him throw something and found a plastic bag with two pills inside.

The man said he had taken his aunt’s medication and planned to sell it to his friend for recreational purposes, according to the report. He was taken to jail on a charge of delivery of a controlled substance.
