The local man stole prescription medications from a woman and two young children, hoping to sell them.

PHOENIXVILLE, PA -- A Phoenixville man who stole prescription medications from a woman and two young children, hoping to sell them, has been convicted, according to a report.
Christopher Rudisill, 21, of Morgan Street, was first brought to the attention of police when a woman tried to chase him out of her home by hitting him with a guitar, the report states.
Rudisill was reportedly there visiting his daughter. A resident of the home gave police a bag that belonged to Rudisill that contained seven prescription bottles not meant for him. Rudisill allegedly told the woman at the home that he intended to sell the pills.

Police contacted the woman whose name was on the bottles, who said that Rudisill had recently been in her home. She was very upset because she said the education of her children "depended" on the Adderall prescription, the Pottstown Mercury reports.
Sentencing has been deferred to a later date.
