Gregory Glanville, 57, has been sentenced to 17 years and six months in prison for the robbery of K&S Wholesale in Forest Grove, Oregon. He signed a plea agreement in which he admitted to one count of attempted aggravated murder and two counts of first-degree robbery with a firearm. In court, Glanville stood with his Portland defense attorney and apologized to the owners for the trauma he caused and thanked his lawyers and the prosecutor.
Glanville entered the auto wholesale on April 9 carrying a loaded pistol. His face was hidden behind a bandana. When Scott Page, the owner of the dealership, did not offer him cash right away, he fired the gun into a wall. Page gave Glanville his wallet and then attempted to get the gun from him, causing Glanville to fire another round, which missed Page.
Witnesses saw Glanville go into the business and called police, who surrounded the building. Page’s wife managed to escape outside with the couple’s child. Page managed to take the gun from Glanville and then ran outside. Glanville stayed inside for hours. Police believed him to be armed with a rifle, which was later found to be a BB gun.
Glanville called an acquaintance during the standoff with police and reportedly said he was cornered by law enforcement and scared. He was taken into custody after police deployed tear gas.
