ASSAULT CHARGES
A man allegedly upset after being refused sex remains jailed without bond following an early morning assault and three-hour standoff near Lake Bastrop last month, court records show.
Deputies booked Gregory Lowe Jr., 39, into Bastrop County Jail after negotiators secured his surrender about 10 a.m. May 14. He faces a charge of aggravated assault with a weapon causing serious bodily injury, a first-degree felony.
According to an arrest affidavit, the suspect was turned down during the early morning hours and involved in an argument with the victim at a residence on the 200 block of Plum Drive.
Reports said the suspect left for work before returning a short time later and kicking the door open. Armed with a baseball bat and a knife, he allegedly grabbed the victim by her hair and dragged her from the residence.
The suspect ran back inside after seeing an oncoming vehicle, according to the affidavit, and barricaded himself in the residence.
Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived on scene and traffic along Plum Drive was rerouted while a surrender was negotiated.
Lowe awaits trial in the 423rd District Court.
