Lewiston Man Sentenced for Pharmacy Robbery

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the United States Attorneys on Feb. 20, 2014. It is reproduced in full below.

Bangor, Maine: 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 Jan. 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 ten 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.
