Lewiston Man Sentenced for Pharmacy Robbery

BANGOR, ME—United States Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty, II announced that Anthony W. Post, 19, of Lewiston, Maine, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Bangor to two years in prison and three years of supervised release for robbing a pharmacy. He pleaded guilty to that crime on March 12, 2013. He was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,587.51.

Court records reveal that on January 22, 2013, the defendant entered a CVS in Augusta wearing sunglasses with a scarf across his face. He presented a note at the pharmacy counter that demanded oxycodone, claimed he had a gun, and threatened to shoot if his demand was not met. Candace Eaton and Stephanie McCormick were in a car waiting for Post. McCormick had planned the robbery and authored the demand note. McCormick was sentenced in December 2013 by Chief U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. to three years and 10 months in prison, three years of supervised release, a fine of $1,000, and a restitution obligation. Eaton was the getaway driver, and she took a share of the stolen pills. She was sentenced in December 2013 to one-and-one-half years of imprisonment and three years of supervised release for being an accessory after the fact to the robbery of a pharmacy. She was also fined $5,000 and ordered to pay restitution.

The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Augusta Police Department.
