In a reverse case of life imitating art, Josh Holloway, con man extraordinaire-turned involuntary island resident, Sawyer on Lost, became the victim of a terrifying robbery nearly three years ago. On Tuesday, the man who robbed him at gunpoint was sentenced and sent off to do 30 years in prison. In October of 2005, a then 20-year old Ruben Royce broke into Holloway’s Hawaii residence. He held the Lost star at gunpoint and then sped off in the actor’s Mercedes, hoping to disappear into the night. Less than a week after the incident, the cops nabbed the young man, but not before he could do more damage to other people’s property and to one person in particular. When the law caught up with Royce, he was fresh from abusing his girlfriend the previous night, aside from robbing more folks. In dramatic fashion near-worthy of his own J.J. Abrams pilot, Royce did not go down gently as police were forced to pepper his vehicle with rubber bullets while Royce drove off near an elementary school. In February of this year, Royce pleaded guilty to 34 related counts in a plea deal. The counts included car theft, kidnapping, and what may be Royce’s felony of choice, first-degree robbery. The court gave him 30 years when his sentence was meted out on Tuesday. Faced with three decades behind bars for crimes against people like Lost’s Josh Holloway, Ruben Royce has allegedly said he is sorry for his misdeeds and has claimed a desire to finally turn over a new leaf. Whether Royce does manage to come back from a life of crime is probably no longer Josh Holloway’s concern. What must matter to the star and his family now is that justice has been served to someone, who, not too long ago, probably gave them a scare to rival the mysterious island’s surprises on Lost.
