Apparently the drummer, 39, had entered several pharmacies while carrying a knive, demanding prescription drugs.
The suspect was described as a white male, late 30\'s, 6\'0\" tall, 200 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. He walked \"hunched\" over and appeared to be wearing a wig with a long ponytail.
Steve Hanford is the second drummer who was recently arrested for armed robbery. Last month drummer Steve Washington was jailed for four years for holding up a bank. He pretended to carry a gun with a gift-wrapped tom holder. See also this news item.
