Mark Lepage, of Stoughton, has been charged in federal court for the armed robbery of an Eastern Bank in Peabody that took place earlier this week.

Lepage, 47, was charged in a criminal complaint with armed bank robbery, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusettes. On April 4, Lepage allegedly robbed the Eastern Bank located at 102 Lynn St. in Peabody with a handgun.

During the robbery, Lepage also allegedly grabbed a customer and held the gun to the back of the customer’s head while demanding that the customer hand over all of the customer’s money. Lepage then allegedly pointed the gun at tellers in the bank and demanded money. After collecting money from the tellers, Lepage fled.

Lepage, who was arrested by authorities Tuesday night, faces up to 25 years in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine, if convicted.
