Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank T. Pimentel, who is handling the case, stated that on May 9, 2013, Krehan walked into the Walgreens Pharmacy at 1066 Payne Avenue in North Tonawanda and threatened a pharmacy employee while demanding fentanyl patches and Opana tablets, which were then given to the defendant.
The plea is the result of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge James J. Hunt, New York Field Division and the North Tonawanda Police Department, under the direction of Chief William Hall.
Sentencing will be scheduled at a later date before Senior U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny.
