BURLINGTON, Vt. — A serial bank robber and straw man who illegally bought 19 firearms — including one used to shoot a Springfield, Massachusetts, police officer in the face a year ago — has been sentenced to almost four years in federal prison.
Stephen Loewe, 43, of Springfield, Vermont, also was ordered to pay $2,410 in restitution for money stolen during three bank robberies in southern Vermont in August 2024 to help fuel his crack cocaine addiction, officials said.
Chief Federal Judge Christina Reiss told Loewe that he would be on three years of supervised release once he is discharged from the 45-month prison term.
