Drugstore Cowboy writer in Jail

The author who wrote DRUGSTORE COWBOY is in jail again after he was arrested on suspicion of robbing a pharmacy in Washington.

James Fogle wrote the novel, about four marauding drug addicts who travel America looting narcotics from pharmacies, while he was in prison and based it loosely on his own experiences.

It was later used as the basis for Gus Van Sant's 1989 film of the same name starring Matt Dillon and Kelly Lynch.
