And you thought Andy Reid’s kids were messed up? Wait til you read this. Over the weekend their was a shooting inside the dorms at UNC-Greensboro. While two men were already arrested, a third man, 21 year-old Sidney Lowe Jr., has now been arrested as well. He also happens to be the son of N.C. State’s basketball coach, Sidney Lowe. My point here is not to diminish the elder Lowe. Rather, it’s to point out how ridiculous the charges against Lowe Jr. are. As far as crimes go, this has to take the cake:
University of North Carolina at Greensboro police said the 21-year-old Sidney R. Lowe Jr. was charged with nine counts, including a felony of aiding and abetting attempted armed robbery in connection the shooting of a man in a campus dorm Saturday.
[Lowe’s attorney Locke] Clifford said Lowe is charged with six counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, six counts of second-degree kidnapping and one count of assault inflicting serious bodily injury. He said Lowe and another man are accused of going to a house with six people in it and striking one of them on the head with a bottle.
The other charges filed by UNCG police include: two counts of possession of a weapon on educational property; possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana; maintaining a dwelling for the keeping and selling of a controlled substance; possession of between a half an ounce and 1.5 ounces of marijuana; and three counts of stolen goods or property.
Dude, Sidney, what didn’t you do that night? That is incredible. While my condolences go out to anybody who was adversely affected by Lowe’s actions that night, I’m still in utter shock at the laundry grocery list of charges.
