A 53-year-old Marlborough resident convicted of robbing five Connecticut pharmacies, at least some at gunpoint, will face five years in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, David Haney pleaded guilty in February to robbing the CVS pharmacy at 525 Buckland Road in South Windsor last September. Authorities said he showed the pharmacist what appeared to be a handgun in his waistband and demanded oxycodone. The pharmacist handed over 2,000 pills.
Haney also admitted to robbing four other pharmacies between September and November 2013, including Walgreens stores in Manchester, Meriden and Vernon and a CVS location in East Hartford, according the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
He disclosed an addiction to pain medication and told authorities he took most of the pills himself, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Haney was sentenced Monday and ordered to pay restitution to the pharmacies he robbed.
