I was opening the Subway this morning, when around 800am a Milton Police officer came into the store and informed me about what happened at Zacharys last night. I am also a former employee of Lee Zachary's in Milton, and its a damn shame to say its not the first time an employee has been held up outside of the store. Last time the motive for the robberies was because of a pill addiction, and more than likely it was the motive in this crime. What a shame. I grew up in Milton, and in a period of two years I saw most of my friends become drug addicted, and the end result was complete separation from certain individuals because I could not trust them anymore. Just remember everybody, if you are legally prescribed drugs, be very cautious of who you tell.
