Hueytown man sentenced to 18 years in prison by Tachana Johnson
JEFFERSON COUNTY - AL -
A federal judge has sentenced 22-year-old Anthony Young to 18 years in prison for a series of armed pharmacy robberies in 2011 and 2012.
The judge sentenced Young in accordance with a binding plea agreement he entered with the government. The agreement specified an 18-year prison sentence for Young's pleas of guilty to three pharmacy robberies in the Birmingham area and to brandishing a firearm during one of the robberies. Cash and controlled substances, including narcotic painkillers, were taken in all three robberies.
Young pleaded guilty in August to robbing Moore's Pharmacy on Ensley Avenue in Birmingham on July 30,2011, Campbell's Pharmacy on Veterans Memorial Drive in Adamsville on August 27, 2011 and Helena Hometown Pharmacy on Alabama Highway 17 in Helena on March 13, 2012. He admitted to brandishing a gun during the Helena robbery.
Two co-defendants in the case, Willie and Sterling Edwards, pleaded guilty earlier this year for their roles in the robberies.
