Man who held up Kauai pharmacy with BB gun faces sentencing

HONOLULU » A man who pleaded guilty to holding up a Kauai pharmacy with a BB gun and stealing thousands of prescription painkiller pills is being sentenced.

Walter Mills is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court in Honolulu on Tuesday.

According to a plea agreement, he entered Kapaa Pharmacy last year wearing a mask and carrying a BB gun that looked like a real firearm. The court document says he pointed the BB gun at the pharmacist and stole nearly 2,000 pills of Oxycontin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine and methadone.

He was arrested several days later after he got into a minor accident while driving a rented van.

Mills faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 and a term of supervised release.

    Wondering if he will qualify for amnesty after Obama pardoning of non-violent criminals?? After all it was a BB gun and not a real gun??

      Obama and Hilary will start pushing to run background checks on BB guns and if we’re real lucky Giligan’s Island very own governor David Ige will add an addendum to SB 2954 (ACT 108) to register all BB gun owners, which already authorizes county police departments in Hawai‘i to enroll firearms applicants and individuals registering their firearms, in a federal criminal record monitoring service.

      Dyslexic Democrats on Giligan’s Island sell their souls to Santa…news at 11…now back to the sports show.

    He would have done all of us a favor by killing himself by taking all of the 2,000 pills of Oxycontin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine and methadone! Locking him up won’t do us any good, I say pour all those pills down his throat before wasting more money to incarcerate him.
