DA seal OREGON CITY, Or. -- Four people who beat and robbed an Oak Grove grocery store manager in February pleaded guilty in Clackamas County Circuit Court for their roles in the attack and were sentenced to prison.

Devante Georgio Santos, Angela Lynn Sterba, and David Brandon Harris assaulted the manager of the Grocery Outlet, 15810 SE McLoughlin Blvd, as Santos stole phone chargers, snacks and Red Bull energy drinks from the store.

Santos and Sterba punched the victim in the chest while Harris punched and kicked the victim in the head and ribs as he lay on the ground.

Following the assault, Steven Tyler Pierce threatened multiple witnesses and the store manager. Pierce claimed he had a gun and would shoot them. He reached into a sling-bag style satchel and acted as if he were about to make good on his threats.

Investigators found Pierce was carrying a spring-powered switchblade and a double-edged dagger.

Santos and Harris entered guilty pleas and were sentenced April 23. Pierce and Sterba entered pleas and were sentenced April 18.
