The pharmacist turned over 330 Hydrocodone pills, 46 morphine sulfate pills, 40 Oxycodone pills, (police spokesman Lt. Mike) Rompa said.

Police arrested Cornwell at 12:13 p.m. Wednesday at his home, but were unable to locate the syringe, Rompa said. He was arraigned Thursday and is due in court again on Sept. 24.
