FRAMINGHAM - Sometimes, people make it easy for the police to find them. That was the case on Wednesday when Franklin resident Nicholas Billikas, 26, left his food stamp card at the downtown CVS where he is accused of stealing a bottle of cold medicine, police spokesman Lt. Paul Shastany said. The card had Billikas’ name and address. At 1 p.m., a man went to the Concord Street pharmacy asking the manager where he could find the cold medicine. The manager escorted him to the aisle, the man grabbed a bottle of NyQuil and he went walked away. "He opened it and drank the whole bottle," said Shastany. "The manager asked for payment or he’d call the police." The man gave the manager his food stamp card, which cannot be used for medicine. The man ran from the store, leaving the card, the lieutenant said. Police went to the store, took the card and got a description of the man. A few minutes later, Officer James Girotti saw a man stumbling down Concord Street toward the bus stop. "The officer got out of his cruiser and said, ’Nick,’ and Billikas turned around and said, ’Yes,’ " said Shastany. "He asked Billikas if he left his food stamp card at CVS, and he showed it to him, and Billikas said, ’Oh yeah,’ and tried to take it." Billikas, of 171 Brook St., Franklin, was charged with shoplifting. He pleaded not guilty at his Framingham District Court arraignment yesterday and was released without bail.
