A man was arrested after he allegedly threatened to blow up a Delaware pharmacy if he wasn’t given prescription drugs.

Police say Curtis Kuhn, 26, of Lewes, Delaware entered the Walgreens on West Birdie Lane in Magnolia around 9:30 a.m. Saturday. Kuhn allegedly approached the pharmacist at the counter and placed a note demanding Percocet and Xanax in a bag. Kuhn told the employee he had explosives strapped to him and threatened to blow up the store if he didn’t receive the drugs. Kuhn also allegedly claimed he was being forced to steal the drugs by other people who were parked in a car outside the business.

Delaware State Troopers quickly responded to the store and placed Kuhn in custody without incident, investigators said. Responding officials determined he didn’t have any explosives strapped to him and no car that he described was in the parking lot.

The woman and another employee who were inside at the time weren’t hurt during the incident. Kuhn was charged with attempted robbery, terroristic threatening and attempted theft of a controlled substance. He was arraigned and committed to the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center.

When the Eagles fired Chip Kelly with a week left to go in the regular season, Jeff Lurie said he wanted to get a jump on the coaching search.

It looks like that jump began inside the building.

Eagles to Make Another Hire: Source

The Eagles on Saturday confirmed that they interviewed running backs coach Duce Staley for the head coaching vacancy on Friday.

ESPN's Ed Werder first reported the news.

Staley has been on the team's coaching staff since 2011. Chip Kelly kept Staley on board and made him running backs coach when he was hired in 2013. Before that, he was an assistant special teams coach. He's the only coach who has been on the staff since 2011.

Eagles Players React to Team Releasing Chip Kelly

When owner Jeff Lurie held his press conference on Wednesday, he outlined what he was looking for in the next head coach. He said he wanted a "smart, strategic thinker," someone who interacts well with everyone he works with, someone who understands Philadelphia, someone who pays attention to detail and someone with "emotional intelligence." Staley seems to check most of those boxes, but he's a little light in coaching experience.

Staley, 40, played for the Eagles from 1997-2003. He rushed for over 1,000 yards three times as an Eagle.

Eagles Sack Head Coach Chip Kelly

By interviewing Staley, it appears the Eagles have satisfied the NFL's Rooney Rule, which mandates teams must interview at least one minority for head coaching vacancies.

This season, the running back rotation in Philadelphia garnered big headlines. Kelly continually said Staley was in charge of the rotation.

On Sunday, offensive coordinator and interim coach Pat Shurmur will lead the Eagles against the Giants.
