Police in Sanford, Florida are looking for a suspect in a bizarre case.The man was caught on tape appearing to relieve himself in a local Walgreens.

Police said they need the public’s help to figure out who unzipped his trousers and urinated all over the cough drops. Investigators said a man walked into Walgreens about 10:30 p.m. Thursday.

One of the clerks went to stock the shelves in that particular area and smelled urine, police said. The clerk then realized that $300 worth of merchandise was covered in urine. Police said the man didn’t appear to be drunk.

“He went to the pharmacy and tries to get a prescription but doesn’t have the right paperwork. That’s OK, at times you won’t have the right things, but he does not appear to be drunk or intoxicated,” said Sgt. David Morgernstern, of the Sanford Police Department. “I don’t know what the problem is, but he needed something, like he needs to go to jail for what he did. But he may need help because why would you urinate in Walgreens on cough drops?”
