Christopher Boisvert of Swanzey, New Hampshire, was sentenced to 74 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release for his involvement in a series of robberies committed in August 2024. The sentencing took place on September 30, 2025, before Chief United States District Judge Christina Reiss in Burlington, Vermont.
Boisvert pleaded guilty on June 10, 2025, to one count of bank robbery and admitted to committing a second bank robbery as well as attempting to rob a marijuana dispensary. These incidents all occurred on August 26, 2024. Meghan Cox of Laconia, New Hampshire, Boisvert’s accomplice, pleaded guilty two days later to conspiring to rob the marijuana dispensary. Her sentencing is set for October 20, 2025.
Court records show that Boisvert and Cox first attempted to rob a marijuana dispensary around 2:00 p.m. on August 26, then Boisvert went on to rob TD Bank in Bellows Falls and Brattleboro Savings & Loan in Brattleboro while masked and apparently armed. He obtained $7,500 after threatening bank tellers and their families with violence. After the final robbery in Brattleboro, Boisvert led police on a high-speed chase through Vermont back roads before abandoning his vehicle at a business parking lot. Later that day upon returning home to New Hampshire, both suspects falsely reported the truck stolen and claimed they had been hiking during the afternoon. Records also indicate that Boisvert has prior convictions for armed robberies spanning from 2012 through 2023.
Acting United States Attorney Michael P. Drescher praised the work of several law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation: “The investigatory efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Vermont State Police, the Brattleboro Police Department, the Bellows Falls Police Department, the Keene (New Hampshire) Police Department, the Swanzey (New Hampshire) Police Department, the Cheshire County (New Hampshire) Sheriff’s Department, the New Hampshire State Police, the Athol (Massachusetts) Police Department, and the Winchendon (Massachusetts) Police Department are commended.”
Assistant United States Attorneys Jonathan Ophardt and Dana Hill prosecuted this case. Christopher Boisvert was represented by Assistant Federal Public Defender Emily Kenyon; Meghan Cox is represented by Richard C. Bothfeld.
