Charles Rowan

Charles Rowan, also known as ‘Freight Train’, was a cage fighter who owed and $80,000 to a drug dealer. To evade the debt Rowan’s girlfriend and accomplice called his family and friend telling them that Rowan had been killed in a car accident. Everybody genuinely believed Rowan was dead. Benefit fights were staged in his honour. Rowan even hid in a upstairs bedroom to watch his own memorial service. Several weeks in March 2013 later Rowan robbed a gun shop and beat the owner. After the robbery Rowan’s photograph was circulated with the consequence that his friends and family realised that he was still alive and had faked his death. Rowan was sentenced to 17.5 to 40 years and his girlfriend to 5 years 10 months to 30 years for her involvement in the robbery.
