According to the indictment, Michael Gillette, along with two co-defendants, allegedly robbed a bank in Burlington, Vermont. The incident occurred on August 4, 2006, and resulted in the theft of a significant amount of cash. The indictment further alleged that Gillette, who had previously been convicted of a felony, was in possession of a firearm during the commission of the crime.
