Memphis was rocked by a reported carjacking and robbery on Christmas Eve involving a medicine delivery driver outside a Midtown CVS. According to Action News 5, the incident occurred at the CVS location at 2115 Union Avenue just before 7:30 a.m., when two masked men confronted the driver, demanding her phone at gunpoint, before making off with her van full of pharmaceuticals.
The stolen van later recovered on Florence Street and Linden Avenue, had been emptied of the medicine totes it contained—valued at over $100,000. Following a tip, police arrested 27-year-old Javorian Miller at a residence on Nellie Road, where several stolen totes were retrieved. A second suspect fled the scene and remains at large. Miller, also linked to a previous robbery at Walgreens, faces charges of aggravated robbery, carjacking, and the employment of a firearm during a dangerous felony, as stated by FOX13 Memphis.
The earlier heist took place at a Walgreens pharmacy, where Miller and his accomplice reportedly robbed a delivery driver. "Stay right there. You better not move," the suspects allegedly warned the driver as they commandeered several bins of medication. Though the stolen goods were not controlled substances, Miller admitted his involvement in the crimes, confessing that he was the driver of the getaway vehicle, motivated by financial gain, as asserted in a statement obtained by FOX13 Memphis.
In a dramatic turn at the scene of the arrest, officers spotted two men unloading the stolen pharmaceutical totes from a red Cadillac CTS, leading to Miller's incarceration. The suspect now faces significant legal repercussions for his alleged role in the thefts, which have highlighted the vulnerability of delivery drivers in similar scenarios. Details regarding Miller’s charges are corroborated by WREG News Channel 3.
