DALLAS (OR) – Robert Lanoy (age 19), Chance Lawrence (age 18), and Xavier Wilcox (age 19) have been separately sentenced in Polk County Circuit Court for their roles in a 2025 incident in which they beat and terrorized a man in Wallace Marine Park.

 

Lanoy, of West Salem, plead guilty to Attempted Robbery in the First Degree, Assault in the Third Degree, Reckless Endangering, and Menacing. Judge Campbell sentenced him on January 7, 2026, to serve 90 months (7.5 years) in prison with an additional 30 months of Post-Prison Supervision.

 

Lawrence, of Salem, plead guilty to Attempted Robbery in the First Degree, Assault in the Third Degree, Reckless Endangering, and Menacing. Judge Campbell sentenced him on June 8, 2026, to serve 90 months (7.5 years) in prison with an additional 30 months of Post-Prison Supervision.

 

Wilcox, of West Salem, plead guilty to Attempted Robbery in the First Degree, Assault in the Third Degree, Reckless Endangering, and Menacing. Judge Park sentenced him on June 16, 2026, to serve 36 months (3 years) in prison with an additional 36 months of Post-Prison Supervision.

 

On August 4, 2025, the co-defendants lured the victim from the Transit Mall in downtown Salem to the boat ramp area in Wallace Marine Park. There, they forced the victim to strip off his clothes, beat, kicked, and repeatedly pepper-sprayed his eyes and face. Throughout the attack, the victim begged for the co-defendants to stop as they verbally humiliated him while continuing to strike him. The victim sustained injury to his eyes and other physical trauma from the assault.

 

The Polk County District Attorney’s Office acknowledges the thorough work of the Salem Police Department and its detectives on this case. We also commend the bravery of the victim throughout the legal process. The case was prosecuted by Chief Deputy District Attorney Matthew Wilson.
