BEND, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon woman and a California man will spend several years in prison for kidnapping and assaulting a couple that stayed in their home.
The Bulletin reports (https://is.gd/giTb4X ) that 36-year-old Alisha Bryden was sentenced Tuesday to 6 ½ years in prison and 37-year-old Jeremiah Degraw was sentenced to 7 ½ years in prison on Wednesday. Both entered guilty pleas in exchange for amended charges last week.
Degraw and Bryden are accused of retaliating against a couple who rented a room from Bryden and then stole and destroyed his possessions. After the theft, Degraw and Bryden went to their guest’s room to confront them. A fight ensued and Bryden and Degraw restrained their victims and severely beat them.
Later, Bryden and Degraw called their victims’ family members and asked for ransom money.
