Lost star Josh Holloway can finally rest easy: More than two years after he and wife Yessica were robbed at gunpoint in their Hawaii home, the man convicted of committing the crime is behind bars.

A judge in a Honolulu court on Tuesday sentenced 23-year-old Ruben Royce to between 13 and 30 years in prison for a three-week crime spree, the Associated Press reports.

Royce had pleaded guilty to multiple charges in February. During sentencing, Judge Karl Sakamoto said Royce terrorized people in their homes while committing "a tidal wave of crime" consisting of four robberies in the fall of 2005.

For Holloway, 37, the terror occurred during a break-in at the actor's Hawaii Kai home on Oct. 12, 2005 – an experience he likened to "getting hit by lightning."

Holloway, who plays con man Sawyer on the ABC show (which is shot in Oahu), and his wife were rousted from bed at gunpoint by Royce, who took cash and credit cards and then drove off in Holloway's Mercedes-Benz, which police soon found abandoned.
