  • District of Vermont (802) 951-6725

The Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Vermont announced that today former Chittenden Bank branch manager Kevin Thivierge was sentenced in United States District Court to four months in jail and three years of supervised release in connection with his guilty plea to misapplication of bank funds, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §656. District Judge Christina Reiss also imposed an order of restitution of $100,000 and a $5,000 fine. The defendant paid the restitution amount prior to sentencing.

According to the court record, Thivierge, 45, a bank officer, engaged in a variety of fraudulent banking transactions to assist a bank customer between early 2004 and early 2007. On occasion, loan proceeds were used for Thivierge’s personal benefit repaying advances he had made to the bank customer. At the sentencing, the bank customer was identified as Marie McMarrow. Thivierge had pleaded guilty to approving a Chittenden loan to Ms. McMarrow in November 2005, in which Thivierge had a personal interest. Thivierge, who resides in the Bennington area, served as manager of the main Bennington Branch and the Bennington Square Branch of Chittenden Bank from June 2003 to March 2007.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bennington Police Department. The prosecutor is AUSA Paul Van de Graaf. Thivierge is represented by John Pacht, a Burlington attorney.
