ABC15.com reported a follow-up story today about 43-year-old Faleh Hassan Almaleki.  The Glendale resident pleaded not guilty to two charges of aggravated assault brought against him after he allegedly ran over his daughter and another woman in a parking lot in Peoria. 

Authorities say that the charges will probably be increased due to the fact that Almaleki's daughter, 20-year-old Noor Almaleki, later died from her injuries.

AZCentral.com reported today that 26-year-old Jerome Whatton was taken into custody on Friday in connection with an attempted theft at an Albertson's pharmacy.

According to authorities, the robbery occurred when the suspect went into the pharmacy on Thursday with a note demanding that the pharmacist give him all of the store's supply of OxyContin (a strong painkiller that is reportedly often abused).  When the store's pharmacist told him that she wasn't able to access the OxyContin, Whatton left the store.

He was later picked up by police and charged with armed robbery.
