Man who tried to steal oxycodone given prison term

By Howard B. Owens

A Batavia man who admitted to attempted robbery for trying to steal oxycodone from the Oakfield Pharmacy will spend one-and-a-half to three years in prison.

He must also receive substance-abuse counseling.

Cain Catino, 39, was sentenced in Genesee County Court today for the Sept. 20 attempted robbery, which was thwarted when the store owners wrestled Catino to the ground. It was revealed in court later that Catino had a knife on him at the time.

Last month, his mother, Kathleen Catino, 60, admitted she tried to smuggle oxycodone into her son at the Genesee County Jail. She is scheduled to be sentenced in January.

1.5 - 3 years behind bars oughtta be enough time for him to kick his addiction...who knows what new bad habits he'll come out with though. I hope this man finds a way to turn his life around. I'll say a prayer for him.
