RIVERSIDE -- Four men were sentenced to state prison this week after pleading guilty to criminal charges in connection with the shooting of a Riverside County pastor and a string of armed robberies at local diners.
Timothy William Jacquemain, 19, and Jacob Zachary Buschow, 20, both of Pomona, were sentenced after they pleaded guilty Wednesday to attempted murder in Riverside Superior Court.
Jacquemain was sentenced to 15 years, and Bushow was sentenced to 10 years. Jacquemain's sentence was longer because he admitted he used a firearm, according to minutes of the sentencing hearing.
Andrew Swindle, 24, of Pomona, Anthony Coleman, 22, of Chino, pleaded guilty Friday to attempted murder, and are set to be sentenced March 18.
Swindle's plea agreement carries a prison sentence of five years, while Coleman agreed to a nine-year term, according to minutes of Friday's hearing.
The men were among five people who allegedly robbed five diners on Sept. 15, 2009 in Los Angeles and Riverside counties, and tried to rob the pastor at Our Lady of Tepeyac in Home Gardens.
The pastor, Anthony Garduno, was shot several times during the attempted robbery but survived his injuries.
Garduno was later convicted of selling drugs at the church and possessing a stolen firearm, and was sentenced to two years in prison.
The other alleged robbers, Willis Bagley, 39, of Perris is awaiting trial for attempted murder and several counts of robbery.
The five men are accused of robbing Denny's restaurants in Rowland Heights, Pomona, Norco and Corona, and an International House of Pancakes in Industry.
