Man sentenced in armed Tigard pawn shop robbery

WASHINGTON COUNTY Ore. (KPTV) – A Washington County jury has found the suspect in a 2022 armed pawn shop robbery guilty.

According to the Washington County District Attorney’s Office, Rosario Reginal Jumpingbull and an accomplice drove from Portland to Tigard on July 14, 2022, to a pawn shop. Once at the pawn shop, Jumpingbull entered the shop and promptly brandished a firearm.

According to court documents, he then aimed the gun at the three on-duty workers and demanded they hand over cash.

Before the robbery, Jumpingbull reportedly received information from an employee regarding the location of a substantial sum of cash and the existing security measures.

On Monday, Jumnpingbull was sentenced to 270 months in prison.
