Police say Ginnings demanding narcotics at gunpoint from the Bridgestone Pharmacy at 25 Hamilton Crossing at 10:50 a.m April 12. He was told by the clerk the pharmacy only carried diabetic supplies and he fled empty handed.

Ten minutes later, Ginnings entered Good Shepherd Pharmacy at 2717 Murfreesboro Pike and again demanded narcotics at gunpoint and was again told none were available, police say. He reportedly grabbed bottles of non-narcotic prescription drugs and fled in an early model white Ford Expedition driven by a second person.

Ginnings is also wanted for robberies in Gallatin, White Bluff and Cheatham County.
