'Guilty' Plea in Armed Robbery of South Windsor CVS

A Marlborough man was convicted Wednesday for the armed robbery of a CVS store in South Windsor in September and pleaded ‘guilty’ to four other robberies in 2013 in East Hartford, Glastonbury, Meriden and Vernon.

According to court records, David Haney, 52, went into the CVS on Buckland Road on Sept. 25, approached the pharmacy counter, showed the pharmacist a gun tucked into his waistband and demanded oxycodone.

Haney left the store with more than 2,000 pills of varying strengths.

Haney was arrested in November and pleaded ‘guilty’ Wednesday to one count of interference with commerce by robbery for the incident in South Windsor, as well as similar robberies at a Walgreens on Hebron Avenue in Glastonbury on Sept. 15, a Walgreens on Main Street in Meriden on Oct. 3, a CVS on Main Street in East Hartford on Oct. 11 and a Walgreens on Talcottville Road in Vernon on Nov. 9.

Haney’s case is scheduled for sentencing on May 14, at which time he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.
