WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — A 25-year-old Lebanon woman was given a suspended prison sentence and community service Thursday for driving a getaway car during a White River Junction bank robbery two years ago, according to court documents.
Katelyn Grizzaffi pleaded guilty in Windsor Superior Court on Thursday to one count of accessory after the fact.
She was sentenced to 2 months to 1½ years in prison, all suspended, according to a case summary. She was also ordered to complete four years of probation, which includes conditions that she not be convicted of another crime, not use drugs, report to her probation officer regularly and complete 40 hours of community service, according to the document.
The charges stem from the January 2019 robbery, when then-28-year-old Stephen Lynch was accused of entering a Mascoma Bank branch on Maple Street in White River Junction, handing a teller a note, and making off with $5,000.
Grizzaffi was waiting outside in a getaway car and drove the two to another area of White River Junction to buy drugs and pay a drug debt before they traveled south on Interstate 91, police have said. They were arrested around 90 minutes later on I-91 in Massachusetts, according to police.
Lynch pleaded guilty to larceny in December 2019 and was sentenced to four years in prison.
