Cain Catino, 39, who tried to steal oxycodone from the Oakfield Family Pharmacy last month pled guilty this morning to attempted robbery, 3rd, in Genesee County Court.
The Seven Spring Roads resident had a knife in his pocket at the time of the attempted robbery, District Attorney Lawrence Friedman revealed this morning.
Friedman said Catino's case was scheduled to go before the grand jury next week and Catino was facing a possible charge of robbery, 1st, and criminal possession of a weapon.
Witnesses would testify, according to Friedman, that Catino was attempting to retrieve the knife when the pharmacy owner and his son were wrestling Catino to the floor.
Under terms of the agreement, Catino receives second felony offender status and will serve from one-and-half years to three years in prison.
Without the plea agreement, the attempted robbery charge could carry a maximum sentence of two to four years.
Catino's prior felony convictions are a grand larceny charge in 2008 and attempted robbery in 2009.
Sentencing was scheduled for Nov. 22.
Catino's mother is accused of trying to smuggle drugs to him in Genesee County Jail earlier this month. Charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance and promoting prison contraband are still pending.

Two prior felonies and gets
Two prior felonies and gets only one and half to three years? Doesn't seem like much when other people have gotten more time.
That 2nd felony offender
That 2nd felony offender status is important in NY. We still have the 3 strikes and you're out, but you have to be declared a 2nd felony offender by the courts first. This guy is on thin ice when he gets out.
