CHEHALIS – The second of three suspects in a Centralia home invasion in which a dog was fatally shot early last year was sentenced yesterday, and given a 10-year term.

Deandre J. Perry, of Portland, went before a judge in Lewis County Superior Court yesterday afternoon following a plea deal regarding his role in the incident at the 1200 block of Marion Street on Feb. 19, 2015.

He previously pleaded guilty to first-degree attempted robbery, first-degree burglary and two counts of second-degree assault.

The victim had a small number of medical marijuana plants growing inside his house and was preparing to watch a movie  with his girlfriend when strangers barged through the door, demanding money and weed and fired numerous shots.

Perry’s companion from Portland, Hennessy R. Turner-White, admitted to shooting the pit bull and was sentenced on Monday for the same offenses plus first-degree animal cruelty and got 12 years.

Centralia resident Brian A. Carreon is scheduled to be in court on Oct. 19, expected to plead guilty to his role and be sentenced.

Lewis County Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Brad Meagher said he’s confident a plea deal is in place as well for Carreon’s sister, Taina Duncan, from Portland, who allegedly drove the three males to the house.
