A 26-year-old Baltimore man was sentenced to eight and a half years in federal prison Friday for using a gun to rob a Carroll County pharmacy of prescription narcotics, the Maryland U.S. Attorney's Office announced.
Joseph Wagner pointed a handgun into the face of a Finksburg Pharmacy employee on Sept. 30, 2009, and "and threatened to kill her if she moved," prosecutors said in a statement. A conspirator then demanded drugs, including Ocycontin, Xanax and Percocet, and Wagner bound two employees hands and feet with zip ties, the statement said, while a third employee hid in a back room and called 911.
