PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Tyrone Lamonte Allen walked into a courtroom with his hands and feet shackled. He wore the county’s standard blue innate uniform.

Friends and family sat in the galley.

Two corrections deputies escorted Allen to his seat at the defendant’s table. He sat next to his criminal defense attorney. To his right was the senior deputy district attorney who would soon be asking a judge to sentence Allen to 10 years in prison.

The wedding that took place Friday inside the Multnomah County Courthouse was certainly very unusual.

In November, Allen, 24, was convicted by a jury on charges of attempted murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Allen grew up in the Portland metro. According to police, he is a documented Rollin’ 60’s gang member.

On March 7, 2015, officers assigned to the Gang Enforcement Team (GET) responded to reports of a shooting in the 4500 block of Northeast 102nd Avenue. Allen, according to police, was shooting at a rival gang member. The feud between the two gangs has spanned over 15 years.

Under Oregon law, upon his conviction, Allen faced a 10 year minimum prison sentence.

Shortly before Friday’s sentencing started, Allen’s criminal defense attorney Alicia Hercher learned from her client that he wanted to get married that day.

Hercher wasn’t expecting the request, but asked Judge Gregory F. Silver if he would preside over the wedding.

The state had no objections, but senior deputy district attorney Glen Banfield didn’t stick around for the wedding.

After the sentencing, Silver directed the 5-minute wedding ceremony between Allen and Trisha Romero.

“They were happy,” Hercher recounted.

She said Romero and Allen have been longtime friends and love each other and were surrounded by friends and family.

It was a typical wedding ceremony, except for the fact that Romero and Allen were not allowed to touch each other or exchange rings.

The joy, though, lasted only a few minutes.Once pronounced a couple, Allen was escorted from the courthouse. He was led back to a holding cell.

KOIN 6 News has learned that during the trial, Romero testified against Allen and was named in court documents as a co-defendant in the case.

On Monday, Allen was transferred from Multnomah County to prison.

Calls into Banfield and Silver were not returned for this story.
