When Womack turned professional, he signed a contract with the Kronk boxing team that guaranteed him $150,000 over two years. He lived rent-free in Detroit in a condominium that Emanuel Steward, his manager and trainer at Kronk, had provided since his amateur days. Womack was 9-0-1 as a professional when he robbed a video store in Redford Township, Michigan on December 30, 1985. He pistol-whipped the female clerk with his 9mm handgun and walked out with a few hundred dollars and a handful of videotapes. On January 9, 1986, he tried to rob another video store in the same suburb but panicked when a customer walked in. Womack shot him in the leg and fled. Police found Womack’s car keys on the counter and his wallet on the front seat of a beige Volvo parked outside. He took a plea deal and was sentenced to concurrent terms of 12 to 25 years. Womack returned to the ring after he was released from prison in November 2000. He won four straight fights before committing suicide on January 19, 2002.
