Jonathan Faucher, 39, of Manchester, New Hampshire, has pleaded guilty to attempting to rob a convenience store and robbing a bank in Manchester.
According to court records and statements made in court, Faucher entered a 7-Eleven store on Maple Street in Manchester, New Hampshire, shortly after midnight on September 28, 2016. He asked for a pack of cigarettes, then brandished a box cutter with a razor blade and told the clerk to “give me all the money if you don’t want to get hurt.”
The clerk behind the counter responded by brandishing a pizza cutter at Faucher, who fled the area. This brazen attempt at robbery was just the beginning of Faucher’s crime spree.
A few days later, on October 3, 2016, Faucher robbed a TD Bank branch on Franklin Street, in Manchester, New Hampshire. Faucher handed a note to a bank teller claiming that he had a gun and demanding money. The bank teller handed over $600 and Faucher fled the bank on foot.
Manchester Police responding to the robbery apprehended him just a few blocks from the scene of the crime. The swift response by law enforcement brought an end to Faucher’s string of robberies.
The case was investigated by the Manchester Police Department, with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Shane Kelbley. Acting United States Attorney John J. Farley announced Faucher’s guilty plea.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 19, 2017. Faucher will face the consequences of his actions, and the community can rest easier knowing that he is being held accountable for his crimes.
The guilty plea is a significant step towards justice for the victims of Faucher’s crimes. The convenience store clerk and the bank teller who were targeted by Faucher can now begin to move on from their traumatic experiences.
