Man arrested, accused of committing armed robbery of an Adams Morgan pharmacy

A man named Jamari Brighthaupt, 25, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department after allegedly committing an armed robbery at a pharmacy located on Columbia Road NW in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. According to police reports, Brighthaupt entered the pharmacy while wearing a mask and demanded prescription drugs. After making initial demands, he jumped over the counter, brandished a gun, and made further demands, though the specifics were not disclosed. Following the incident, Brighthaupt fled the scene but crashed his vehicle before continuing to run away on North Capitol Street NW. He was eventually apprehended by police, who recovered the gun and prescription drugs. No injuries were reported for Brighthaupt, nor were there any bystanders harmed. Brighthaupt faces multiple charges including armed robbery, possession of an unregistered firearm, and resisting arrest. This is not his first encounter with law enforcement; he had been previously arrested in 2019 for robbing another pharmacy in Dupont Circle and later pleaded guilty to related charges in 2020.
