Amateur heavyweight mixed martial artist Charles Rowan is reportedly alive after all, and is facing robbery and assault charges in the wake of a fake death plot according to MLive.com's Garret Ellison.
One month after faking his own death, Rowan was charged along with two others on Friday in connection with a gun shop robbery that took place Monday, March 18 according to the Gladwin County Record.
Rowan, his girlfriend Rosalinda Martinez and friend Michael Bowman were in a Michigan district court room on Friday to hear charges against them following an attempted robbery and assault on the store owner, who was badly beaten and suffered head injuries.
Rowan was set to fight on Feb. 2, but his girlfriend, who was reportedly charged along with him in the attempted robbery, Rosalinda Martinez informed his promoters that he had been severely injured in a car accident on the way according to Ellison.
Two days later Martinez told Rowan's promoters he had died. One of Rowan's promoters, Christos Piliafas still can't believe it (via Ellison):
According to the Gladwin County Record, "Rowan, Martinez and Bowman were each charged with one count of Assault With Intent to Murder; one count of Armed Robbery; one count of Armed Robbery-Conspiracy; and one count of Weapons-Felony Firearm."
The report also states that "Rowan was charged with Habitual Offender-Third Offense," and that his bond will be set at $500,000.
Rowan will likely face even more charges pertaining to the fake death plot, as his promoters helped raise over $1,300 during a memorial for his family according to Ellison.
