A man previously listed on the Bristol County District Attorney’s Most Wanted Fugitives List has been sentenced to prison.

60-year-old Robert Goodrich pled guilty Thursday and was sentenced to 4 1/2 to 5 years in prison with credit of 1562 days served.

Formerly of Fall River, Goodrich was arrested in April of 2019 on several open arrest warrants, one of which was an indictment out of Fall River Superior Court charging him with larceny of a motor vehicle—habitual offender and larceny over $1,200 by false pretense—habitual offender.

Goodrich was accused of conning a Fall River woman he had recently met into allowing him to be the middleman for the purchase of a used car. Goodrich was accused of stealing the car the woman was going to trade in for the new vehicle, stealing the title to the old car, and stealing $8,500 from the woman which was to be used to purchase the new vehicle. These incidents are alleged to have occurred in February 2019.

Goodrich’s arrest was made after an investigation by members of District Attorney Quinn’s State Police Unit, the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section, the Rhode Island State Police Violent Fugitive Task Force, the US Marshals and the Revere Police Department.
