Former UFC Fighter Karl Roberson Charged with Theft for Allegedly Stealing $200K in Jewelry from Home

Former UFC fighter Karl Roberson is facing multiple charges after he, along with another man, allegedly burglarized a New Jersey home of $200,000 worth of jewelry and other valuables, according to police.

ย 

The Howell Township Police Department announced that Roberson and Dathan Thompson, both 32, had been arrested and identified as the alleged burglars. Roberson was taken into custody during a traffic stop in Neptune, where he was driving a vehicle that police suspected was connected to the burglary.

โ€œA search of the vehicle revealed a defaced 9mm handgun with an extended magazine, several packages of suspected โ€˜crack cocaine,โ€™ marijuana, and items related to the burglary,โ€ police said.

Police reported that Karl Roberson and Dathan Thompson allegedly pried open the rear door of a New Jersey residence and made their way to the master bedroom, where they took $200,000 worth of valuables. Surveillance cameras inside and outside the home captured the masked suspects.

ย 

If found guilty of the felony charges, Roberson could face a maximum of 10 years in jail.
