PORTLAND — A New York man has been sentenced to two years in prison for a 2014 Oxycontin robbery at the Saco Rite Aid.

Scott McMahon, 33, of Orchard Park, New York, was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court by Judge Jon D. Levy, according to a press release issued Thursday by the Department of Justice.

The prison term will be followed by three years of supervised release. McMahon pleaded guilty on Feb. 12.

According to court records, on Sept. 10, 2014, McMahon entered the Rite Aid on Main Street, approached the pharmacy counter, told a pharmacy employee, “I’m watching you,” and handed the employee a note that read, “Give me Oxycontin. If you don’t it will get ugly.”

A pharmacist put 18 10- milligram Oxycontin pills worth $49 into a plastic bag and handed it to McMahon, who immediately left the building with the medication.

Shortly after the robbery, McMahon was tracked by police to a Saco motel about a half-mile from the pharmacy. His DNA was also found on a sweatshirt recovered by the police that appeared to have been worn by the robber.

The investigation was conducted by the Saco Police Department.
