An arrest warrant has been issued for a former University of Iowa football player charged with armed robbery last month in a Detroit suburb.

Dominique Douglas, 20, was charged Aug. 1 with armed robbery, motor vehicle fraud and carrying a concealed weapon after a passenger in a car Douglas was driving robbed a man at gunpoint in Hamtramck, Mich., according to complaint filed in Johnson County District Court by Douglas’ Iowa probation officer. Douglas pleaded guilty in December to unauthorized use of a credit card after he and teammate Anthony Bowman stole credit cards from U of I students and used them to make online purchases. The men were given deferred judgments, which allowed them to avoid jail and have their convictions erased if they completed a two-year probation. Douglas is accused of violating his probation with the Michigan charges, according to the complaint. If found guilty, Douglas could serve up to two years in an Iowa prison and be fined up to $6,250. Douglas is now being held in the Wayne County (Mich.) Jail awaiting a hearing next week on the armed robbery charges. Johnson County Judge Douglas Russell signed an arrest warrant Aug. 29 ordering Douglas be brought to Iowa City, but that likely won’t happen until after the Michigan charges play out. New charges against Douglas state that Hamtramck police responded to a July 28 call in which a male victim alleged a man exited the passenger side of a parked car and pointed a “chrome pistol revolver” at the victim’s head and demanded money and jewelry. The victim said he gave the assailant two gold chains, a pair of Cartier glasses and earrings, keys and $2,000 cash, the complaint states. When officers pulled over the suspected car, driven by Douglas, they found Douglas wearing a gold chain and having $722, the complaint states. The passenger, Trymal Phillips, was wearing Cartier glasses and had $328. A chrome .357 revolver with four live rounds was found on the passenger side floor, police reported. Douglas confessed to officers he witnessed Phillips rob a man at gunpoint, the complaint states. Douglas and Bowman were charged in August 2007 with unauthorized use of credit cards after attempting to go on a $2,000 shopping spree with stolen cards. While awaiting trial on that charge, Douglas was charged with fifth-degree theft for stealing DVDs from Wal-Mart. He pleaded guilty and paid a $100 fine. Head Football Coach Kirk Ferentz suspended Douglas and Bowman from the team after their arrests. In granting the deferred judgment in January, Judge Russell told Douglas: “Given your age and relatively minor other offenses, and taking into account that you’re paying restitution here, this sentence offers you the maximum opportunity to continue your rehabilitation.” Douglas’ defense attorney Matt Petrzelka said in January that Douglas had transferred to a community college in Detroit, where he grew up
