DES MOINES (AP) - A former Iowa football player, who was eight months into a two-year probation, will faces charges of armed robbery at a hearing in a Michigan court next week.

Police in Hamtramck, Mich., charged Dominique Douglas on Aug. 1, after a passenger in his car allegedly robbed a man at gunpoint.

Douglas was charged with armed robbery, motor vehicle fraud and carrying a concealed weapon.

Police said Douglas confessed to officers he witnessed his passenger, Trymal Phillips, rob a man at gunpoint.

Douglas was on probation after he pleaded guilty to credit-card fraud in Iowa in December.

According to a criminal complaint, Douglas is accused of violating his probation with the Michigan charges.

If found guilty, Douglas could serve up to two years in an Iowa prison and be fined up to $6,250.
