Police are crediting two clerk at a local pharmacy with helping catch a man police said is responsible for a string of OxyContin and oxycodone robberies and thefts from pharmacies in Madison and other surrounding communities.

The manager of the DeForest pharmacy where the suspected thief was arrested said he's glad someone is in custody.

?Pharmacies are held up every day, but this particular guy seems to have been stopped," said DeForest Hometown Pharmacy manager Jim Butcher. ?We don't have to anticipate it anymore.?

Madison police joined with DeForest police and the FBI at a news conference Thursday to talk about the arrest and the investigation into 20 incidents of robbery and theft reported since mid-November.

"He came into the pharmacy, made contact with a pharmacist, asked for a prescription," said DeForest police Lt. Dan Furseth.

Concerns about security after the bombing of the Boston Marathon are prompting organizers of the Crazylegs Classic in Madison to change the Camp Randall carry-in policy for Saturday's race.

Organizers said the carry-in policy will mirror Badger game day carry-in policies. Items permitted include bags no larger than 8.5 x 11 inches, binoculars, cameras, blankets, jackets, umbrellas, items related to a medical condition, chairbacks that are no more than 16 inches wide and diaper bags if a child is present. Items not permitted include food, beverages, containers, laser pointers, banners, flags, signs, noisemakers, weapons, inflatables, laptops, video recorders or any items deemed dangerous or inappropriate.

Anyone entering the stadium is subject to search. Storage facilities are not available for checking prohibited items.

Organizers have also said additional security measures will be taken during Saturday's race, but no specifics have been shared.

Madison?s forecast is not what Chris Delehanty has been hoping for. He?s ready to not hear the words ?chance of showers.?

?We haven't been able to get outside at all yet. We've had games canceled, a tournament cancelled,? Delehanty said.

Delehanty ,and his Regent U14 boys team have been stuck indoors. Luckily, they scored a field at Break Away Sports in Fitchburg. Other teams have had to use gym floors or tennis courts for practice, but Delehanty understood why they can?t be on the real fields.

?Even just changing direction on a field, you bring up so much of the mud and dirt that can really ruin a field for months, or even a year,? Delehanty said.

While coaches have to shell out $70 to $110 an hour for field time at Break Away Sports, manager Greg Kinsey is welcoming the abnormally late surge in business.
