An Indiana man charged with stealing about $75,000 worth of prescription drugs from Walgreens pharmacies in St. Paul and Edina has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Michael Iman White, 20, of Muncie, Ind., was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in St. Paul, according to U.S. Attorney Erica MacDonald.

During a four-month period between April and July of 2018, White used force, violence and fear of injury to rob or attempt to rob five Walgreens pharmacies. He terrorized numerous store employees by pointing actual or replica firearms at them and sometimes restraining them with zip ties.

Investigators used cellphone tower records to identify a single phone number that had been in the area of all four pharmacies when the robberies took place and found it belonged to White, according to the charges against him. They then used White’s driver’s license photo and Walgreens surveillance footage to identify him as the man involved in all four robberies, the charges said.

White and his accomplice, Javonn Lewis, 24, were charged in November 2018. White pleaded guilty in March and was sentenced this week before Senior Judge Donovan Frank.

Lewis pleaded guilty in May and is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 3.

White was also sentenced to three years of supervised release and must pay $84,740 in restitution.
