According to police, Nash purchased a hammer from a nearby Walgreens  and used it to break the drive thru window of a Burger King located along the 1400 block of Lititz Pike in Manheim Township. Nash then entered the restaurant, pried open cash drawers and fled with an undetermined amount of money.

When Nash was taken into custody, police say he was in possession of heroin. He was arraigned and taken to Lancaster County Prison in lieu of 50,000 bail.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for December 30.
