During an interview with Officer Webster, Rowland initially stated that he did not send the text messages.

The criminal complaint states that Rowland told Officer Webster that he did not “want anything to do w1th McGinnis.”

Rowland then asked, “Hypothetically speaking — what if I knew who sent the messages and told them to stop? Would I still get in trouble?”

Officer Webster told Rowland, “Hypothetically speaking, no matter what, there will be some type of charges filed.”

Rowland then told Officer Webster that the messages would stop if the victim would “just get a PFA and not press charges.”

According to the criminal complaint, Rowland then inquired about the grade of the charges.

After Officer Webster informed him that the charge would be a misdemeanor, Rowland immediately stated, “If she gets a PFA and I’m served with it now, the messages will stop. If it’s a summary, I will plead guilty and pay the fine.”

Rowland stated several times that he would pay the fine and plead guilty if the charge was a summary, according to the criminal complaint.

He then said that he “could not get a misdemeanor charge or he would be sent back to state prison.”

Rowland also allegedly said he “just wanted to put (the victim) through hell so she knows what it feels like.”

He was arraigned before Judge Fish on Monday at 11:30 a.m. and placed Venango County Jail after failing to post $150,000 cash bail.

Rowland faces a preliminary hearing on October 11 at 8:30 a.m. before Judge Fish.
