Josh Holloway Robber Pleads Guilty
Ruben Royce, the man charged with holding up Josh Holloway (among other robberies) has pleaded guilty.
Royce pleaded guilty Friday to 34 offenses - including kidnapping, first-degree robbery, burglary and auto theft, stemming from four home invasion robberies. He agreed to a 30-year prison term when he is sentenced April 29. The robberies took place during a three-week period in September and October 2005.
Prosecutors are asking the parole board to force him to serve the entire sentence in the hopes that the time will make him change his behavior.
“Basically, he was driving around looking for fancy cars, nice homes and picked certain ones of them for home invasion,” prosecutor Maurice Arrisgado said. “Fortunately, no one was killed, because he was always armed with a (semiautomatic .45-caliber pistol).”
Royce broke into the Holloways’ home in the early-morning hours through window louvers. He threatened the Holloways, took their wallets, including their credit cards, and drove off in their Mercedes-Benz, Arrisgado said.
“They were just scared. They thought they were going to get killed. This guy was very vicious and had no hesitation in pointing the gun in their face,” he said.
Marshall said Royce did not know Holloway was a TV star until after the robbery. Holloway plays “Sawyer” on the ABC castaway drama, which is filmed on Oahu.
