Crestview man charged with felony battery after attacking former girlfriend

Timothy Jermaine Lowe

A 29-year-old Crestview man is charged with battery and felony domestic violence battery by strangulation after allegedly attacking his former girlfriend at her home, then fleeing through the neighborhood.

Deputies eventually located Timothy Jermaine Lowe, who was hiding in bushes after a man called the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office to report someone matching the suspect’s description walking through his field.

The victim says she had driven to Lowe’s house on Oakdale Avenue Thursday to return money to him when he pushed her into her car and drove to her home on Poverty Creek Road.

Once there she says Lowe struck her in the face with a closed fist, causing her to fall down. She says Lowe then kicked and stomped her around her head, face, and neck, applying enough pressure on her throat to stop her ability to breathe.

The victim’s mother called the OCSO after arriving at the house and finding her daughter badly beaten. Deputies say the victim’s mother demanded that Lowe leave, and eventually chased him out of the home while holding a baseball bat.
