Man Charged In Foxborough Bank Robbery Denied Bail

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The man charged with an armed bank robbery at the Foxborough branch of Bank of America was denied pretrial bail last week.

Court documents show that Dedham Superior Court Judge Douglas Wilkins denied bail for Louis Paris, 47, of Rockland.

Paris has pleaded innocent to the masked bank robbery in September. His next trial date is scheduled for November.

According to Foxborough police, the Southeastern Massachusetts Regional Emergency Communications Center received a call reporting an armed robbery at the bank branch around 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 13.

Officers and detectives from Foxborough responded to the scene alongside agents from the FBI's Lakeville Office. Law enforcement also requested that nearby schools "stay in place" while the area was searched, police said.

Police, FBI agents and an area SWAT team searched Paris' home in September, but Paris' lawyer argues that they have the wrong man, partially because they didn't find a gun or clothing that matched those worn by the man pictured in the robbery, according to the Foxboro Reporter.

A blue surgical mask that matches the one worn by the robber was found in a trash bin outside the bank, and was sent out for testing.
