PITTSBURGH — A Monroeville business owner was arrested for allegedly selling prescription pain pills out of the drive-thru window of his pretzel business.
Local police officers and federal DEA agents observed Brian Schlagel, 45, owner of Philly Pretzel Factory, buying and selling pills out of his business and home over several months, according to WPXI.
On Thursday, Schlagel was taken into custody in the Spitzer Toyota of Monroeville parking lot, where police say he purchased 240 pain pills for approximately $14,000.
He is facing charges including possession with intent to deliver and tampering with evidence.
The Philly Pretzel Factory location in Ross Township said on social media it is not affiliated with the Monroeville store, nor are the Bridgeville and Cranberry locations.
