A 23-year-old Florida man is facing charges after police say he handed pharmacy employees a note demanding a laundry list of prescription drugs, including Viagra.

The Orlando Police Department said Thomas Mues handed a handwritten note to pharmacists at a CVS store around 6 p.m. indicating he had a gun and would shoot them if he was not provided the pills listed on the note.

“THIS IS A (sic) ARMED Robbery!!!” Mues wrote in the note, according to police. “Please cooperate, I don’t want to hurt you. You are not to alarm anybody or I will shoot the closest person to me! Please follow these directions or I will shoot the closest person to me!”
