BANGOR (AP) — An Augusta woman described by a federal judge as the mastermind of a pharmacy robbery faces more than four years in prison at sentencing.
Stephanie McCormick is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Bangor in connection with the Jan. 22 robbery of an Augusta Walgreens.
Although McCormick’s cousin, Anthony Post, pulled off the actual robbery — passing a pharmacist a note demanding prescription painkillers and saying he had a gun — the judge said in a memo that the robbery was McCormick’s idea and she was the “organizer, leader, manager or supervisor” of the heist.
The Kennebec Journal (http://bit.ly/1c6xpvU ) reported that the judge suggested a sentence of up to four years and three months behind bars.
McCormick, Post and another woman have all pleaded guilty.
