Five defendants (L-R): Pomona residents Timothy Jacquemain, 18, Jacob Bushow, 19, and Andrew Swindle, 23, Chino resident Anthony Coleman, 21, Perris resident Willis Bagley, 38.
Five local men are scheduled to be arraigned in Riverside Superior Court Wednesday morning for attempted murder and other charges filed following a spree of robberies that included the shooting of a pastor.
The men are accused of holding up five local restaurants on Sept. 15, and also attempting to rob a church in the Home Gardens area of Riverside County.
Antonio Garduno, the pastor at the church, Our Lady of Tepeyac, was shot in the course of the robbery.
Garduno, 51, is identified as a bishop in an offshoot of the Roman Catholic church. He is expected to survive his injuries.
The alleged robbers include Pomona residents Timothy Jacquemain, 18, Jacob Bushow, 19, and Andrew Swindle, 23. Also charged in the case are Anthony Coleman, 21, of Chino, and Willis Bagley, 38, of Perris.
In addition to the attempted murder charge -- which potentially carries a life prison sentence -- each man also faces multiple counts of robbery.
The group is accused of robbing Denny's restaurants in Rowland Heights, Pomona, Norco and Corona, and an International House of Pancakes in Industry.
One of the suspects was arrested during the Norco robbery, and the other four were arrested following a high-speed chase.
Bagley remained jailed Tuesday in lieu of $1.5 million bail at Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside, according to court records. The others remained jailed there in lieu of $1 million.
