Todd Bussino Sentenced to 53 Months in Prison for Convenience Store Robbery
A 38-year-old Mt. Holly man has been sentenced to 53 months in prison for robbing a Rutland-area convenience store with a knife.
Todd Bussino, of Mt. Holly, was sentenced in United States District Court in Burlington to 53 months’ imprisonment following his guilty plea to a charge that he robbed a Rutland-area convenience store with a knife last March. U.S. District Judge Christina Reiss ordered that Bussino serve three years of supervised release following completion of his prison term and pay restitution in the amount of $1367.
Bussino was arrested after the ninth such robbery, on March 7, 2021. He was released on bail, but rearrested after a tenth, attempted robbery on April 13, 2021. On April 21, a federal grand jury in Rutland charged Bussino with four of those robberies. Bussino pled guilty to the March 7 robbery in September.
United States Attorney Nikolas Kerest commended the investigative efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Rutland Police Department, the Vermont State Police, and the Rutland County Sheriff’s Department.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to continuing to partner with our local, state, and federal law enforcement colleagues to prosecute those who commit armed robberies affecting commerce.
The convenience store robberies took place between early November 2020 and April 2021 in Rutland and surrounding towns. In each of the robberies, a single male entered the store, waited until other customers had left and then demanded money from the clerk. In almost all the incidents, the robber brandished a knife.
