Man charged in Rite Aid pharmacy robberies

A man has been charged with three counts of aggravated robbery in connection with three Rite Aid pharmacy robberies in May.

According to documents filed in 3rd District Court, witnesses said that on May 11, Kenyon Travis Fletcher and another man came into a Rite Aid on Fort Union Boulevard wearing masks, displayed firearms and handed over a note reading, "Give me all the OxyContin you have or I will shoot you, and be quiet."

Witnesses said Fletcher came into the same Rite Aid on May 16 with a mask on, again displayed a firearm and demanded and received OxyContin, according to court documents.

Three days later, Fletcher was one of two masked men who entered the Rite Aid on 3300 South and 700 East, displayed a firearm and threatened to "blow (witnesses') heads off" if they were not given OxyContin, the witnesses said in the court documents.

According to the documents, Fletcher has admitted to Cottonwood Heights police detectives that he participated in each of the robberies.
