The Chicago Times reported that heavyweight contender Andrew Golota was charged on Thursday with more than a dozen misdemeanor weapons charges for illegal possession of numerous firearms and having a revoked state firearm owner’s identification card. Police found the weapons in his home while investigating his alleged involvement in a recent sexual assault.

The police began investigating Golota when an incident occured on Wednesday involving a man approaching two women walking not far from the home of Golota and ordered them into his car at gunpoint. The man drove the two women to a house, which police later identified as Golota's.
