Man Sentenced in Attempted Robbery of Princess Anne Pharmacy

PRINCESS ANNE, Md.- One of the men charged in connection with an attempted robbery of a pharmacy in Somerset County has been sentenced.

Justin Bull pleaded guilty in January to armed robbery of Karemore Pharmacy in Princess Anne and conspiracy to commit robbery in a separate case. He was sentenced Monday to 35 years. Twenty-two years of that sentence are active incarceration with 13 years suspended, according to the Office of the State's Attorney for Somerset County.

On Aug. 10, 2018, Bull and an unknown person broke into a woman's home in Fairmount and demanded prescription pain pills from her. No pills were found, so they reportedly took a small amount of cash from her purse and left, prosecutors said.

According to prosecutors, on Aug. 13, Bull, armed with an assault rifle, and Cody King were dropped off in front of Karemore Pharmacy by Roy Davison. Bull and King reportedly entered the pharmacy with masks on, pointed the gun at employees and demanded prescription pain medication.

One of the pharmacists in a back office pointed a handgun at Bull and King and fired one shot which missed them. They then ran out of the pharmacy and were picked up at a different location by Davison, WBOC previously reported.

King and Davison have been found guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
