Karl W. Roberson, 32, was arrested last month in connection with a home burglary in which police say two suspects made off with more than $200,000 in exotic jewelry and valuables, according to Howell Township police.
Roberson, a native of Neptune Township is a former kickboxer and mixed martial artist who competed in the Middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Roberson was arrested on March 27 after police pulled him over in a vehicle that was connected to the burglary that took place in Howell Township the day after Christmas, authorities said in a news release.
A search of Roberson's vehicle also turned up a defaced handgun with an extended magazine, crack cocaine and marijuana, police said.
The suspects were also captured on home security video which also went viral on social media, police said.
