The 19-year-old Longview man who was part of a violent assault on a father and his teenage son outside the Kelso McDonald’s last month was sentenced to over 20 years Tuesday afternoon.
Kamrin Alexander Kerr pleaded guilty to four counts of second-degree assault and felony harassment for his involvement, said Cowlitz County Prosecuting Attorney Ryan Jurvakainen.
The Jan. 27 attack on Clifton R. Shober, 43, and his teen son, left both suffering stab wounds after Shober saw Kerr striking a woman and attempted to intervene.
Shober, who attended the hearing in the small Cowlitz County Jail courtroom, told The Daily News the family is happy with the outcome, which prosecutors consulted them on prior to the hearing.
In addition to the 22 years in prison, Kerr was also sentenced to three years of community custody, and his deal included an exceptional sentence of up to 90 months each on counts one through four, with counts one and two being consecutive for 180 months.
Shober had part of his intestines removed due to the stabbing, court documents show, and his son suffered a partial lung collapse.
Kerr’s co-arrestee Zachary Eric Beltran, 17, of Longview, is facing two counts of first-degree assault and has a court hearing Thursday.
