Greenfield man sentenced to prison for armed robbery in Northampton
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (WWLP) – A Greenfield man who threatened a store owner with a knife after stealing alcohol from two Northampton businesses has been sentenced to state prison. Springfield man arrested after six-hour standoff on Byers Street According to the Northwestern District Attorney's Office, Keith Shaw, 49, pleaded guilty Thursday in Hampshire Superior Court to charges of armed robbery and shoplifting related to two incidents in June 2024. Prosecutors said Shaw stole $165 worth of alcohol from one package store and $79 from another. When the owner of one of the stores attempted to stop him, Shaw brandished a knife and made threats. Shaw was sentenced to three years in state prison for armed robbery and a concurrent one-year sentence in the Hampshire House of Correction for shoplifting. 'The second incident escalated quickly from a shoplifting offense to an armed robbery when Mr. Shaw threatened the store owner with a knife,' ADA Covington said in a statement. 'Fortunately, no one was injured.' Covington also credited the Northampton Police Department's Detective Bureau for its thorough investigation, which led to Shaw being identified and charged in both cases.
