The incident occurred after Newsome and Winfrey left a Cleveland nightclub early Monday morning. Newsome’s vehicle was in a nearby parking lot, and that’s where six men, all wearing masks, jumped out of their own car and robbed them at gunpoint.
The robbers made out with jewelry, while Newsome’s truck was also stolen around 3:30 a.m.

"It’s a cruel world we live in," Newsome tweeted at 11:05 a.m., hours after the robbery.
Police are also investigating a situation where Browns running back Demetric Felton had his vehicle stolen out of his apartment garage this past weekend.

Through 27 career games (26 starts), Newsome has 79 combined tackles, 15 passes defended and half a sack. He is still searching for his first career interception after two seasons in Cleveland.
