Belgrade Man Pleads Guilty to Bank Robbery

According to court records, on September 30, 2016, Clinton Damboise, 45, entered the Camden National Bank in Manchester, Maine. He approached a female teller and told her, “this is a robbery, not a joke.” He gestured to the waistband of his jacket and said he had a gun. The teller gave him $3,179 and he fled. He was subsequently identified by the teller and by the bank’s security camera footage.

Damboise faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He will be sentenced after the completion of a presentence investigation report by the U.S. Probation Office. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

The FBI, the Maine State Police, the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office and the Southington (Connecticut) Police Department investigated the case.
