KINGSPORT ????????? A pharmacist raised the stakes on a man who attempted to
rob a drug store at knifepoint on Sunday afternoon. The druggist
pulled
a .38-caliber Smith and Wesson pistol and shot the robber in the
hand.

Carl Marcum, proprietor of Marcum’s Pharmacy, 121 E. Ravine Road,
said
the robber entered his store at 2:15 p.m. Marcum told police that the
man came in wearing a camouflage mask over his face and armed with
two
large knives.

Marcum said the man demanded OxyContin, Percoset and other narcotics.
Marcum pulled his pistol and shot at the robber. The man fled out the
rear door and apparently got into a vehicle.

The police gave a description of the man to area hospitals and asked
to
be notified if such a man came in for treatment of a gunshot wound.
At 4 p.m., the police department received word from Hawkins County
Hospital that a man answering the description had come to their
facility
with a gunshot wound to his right hand. The man also had an abrasion
to
his left hand.

Detectives responded to the hospital and spoke with the man, who
identified himself as Jeffery Lynn Jessee, 33, 1000 Stonegate Road,
Apt.
G-8.

According to the detectives, Jessee eventually gave a statement in
which
he confessed to committing the attempted robbery.

Jessee was treated at the hospital and then arrested on a charge of
aggravated robbery.

Jessee was taken to Kingsport City Jail, where he was held in lieu
of a
$20,000 bond.

Employees at Marcum’s Pharmacy were reported to be uninjured in the
robbery attempt.
