How the 45 Years Breaks Down
Ohio prison records divide the sentence into nine years on firearm specifications, ordered to run consecutively, plus 36 years on the underlying felonies. Some counts run consecutively and others concurrently within that 36-year block.1Ohio DRC. Offender Details: Robert D. Howse (A761296)
In January 2019, Howse pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, kidnapping, weapons under disability, robbery, and disruption of public services. The plea covered both Gates Mills incidents.1Ohio DRC. Offender Details: Robert D. Howse (A761296)2Cleveland.com. Chaotic End to Sentencing for Man Who Robbed Former Browns Receiver Joe Jurevicius
What He Was Sentenced For
On September 12, 2018, Howse broke into the home of a 70-year-old Gates Mills woman and hid under her bed. When she entered the bedroom, he pointed a gun at her; she reached a bathroom, locked the door, and called 911.2Cleveland.com.

Two days later, Howse held a gun to the back of Joe Jurevicius’s head after the former NFL receiver walked out to a barn behind his house. The ordeal lasted about 30 minutes, during which Howse repeatedly threatened to shoot him and forced him to open a safe. Prosecutors said Howse wore Jurevicius’s own Super Bowl gloves from Tampa Bay’s 2002 championship to avoid leaving fingerprints, and stole a gun, camera equipment, and alcohol.3FOX 8 Cleveland.

Howse was arrested September 15, 2018. He was wearing a GPS ankle monitor at the time of both robberies, having been released from prison in May 2018 after serving time for robbery, burglary, and receiving stolen property.3FOX 8 Cleveland.

A Separate Federal Firearms Case
The 2064 date reflects the state sentence. In December 2018, a federal grand jury in the Northern District of Ohio also indicted Howse on firearms charges, alleging that on September 15 and 16, 2018, he possessed 28 rounds of 9 mm ammunition as a person barred from having firearms or ammunition because of prior felony convictions for aggravated robbery, burglary, and robbery, each carrying a firearm specification.4U.S. Department of Justice.
