A Greene County jury found Creamer guilty of multiple felonies including felonious assault, having weapons while under disability, improperly handing firearms in a motor vehicle, and aggravated menacing in October, according to a previous News Center 7 report.
Creamer was also found guilty of multiple firearm specifications and the repeat violent offender specification.

Evidence at the trial established that on the evening of April 28, he drove his mother’s vehicle to a Xenia house where two men were on the back porch.
Creamer exited the vehicle with a gun, pointed it at the first victim, and threatened to kill him.
The second victim stood up, grabbed the gun, and attempted to disarm Creamer.
He held on to the gun, fired a shot, and missed. Creamer then ran from the scene, according to Hayes.
At the scene, police found two parts of a fragmented bullet and a .45 caliber spent shell casings just feet from where Creamer fired.
He was found in Washington Court House and arrested at his mother’s home.
Greene County Common Pleas Judge Adolfo Tornichio handed down the maximum sentence for all offenses, nine additional years for the firearm specifications, plus an additional three years for the repeat violent offender specification, according to Hayes.
He will be placed on a mandatory period of post-release control when released.
Creamer was previously convicted on an aggravated robbery charge with a firearm specification for “holding up a retail establishment” in Xenia, Hayes said.
He has previously served two prison sentences for his several offenses.
“Judge Tornichio handed down a very lengthy prison sentence in this case that is a reflection of Roger Creamer’s danger to our community and his history of criminal conduct,” Hayes said.
