Also, check out what is going on in the Lowery's life...remember he is the "good Samaritan marine" that has actually been said to of started the fight according to witnesses and not just happen to come across some people being attacked and jumped to help as he and his girlfriend reported.
Seems he is a habitual liar.
Lowery suffered another injury around 5 a.m. Sept. 4 when he was hit by a Chevrolet Silverado pickup while hitchhiking on Highland Road near Airline Highway, a State Police crash report says.
Michael Whitman, 47, of Prairieville, told troopers he was traveling east on Highland when he saw Lowery walking east on the shoulder of the road, the report says.
Lowery’s left thumb was sticking up and his left arm extended into Whitman’s lane of travel, Whitman told troopers in the report.
Whitman couldn’t swerve to avoid Lowery because of a vehicle traveling next to him, the report says. Whitman hit Lowery with his passenger side mirror, shattering it and chipping the paint on his passenger side door.
Lowery, who was taken to a local hospital by his family and treated for moderate injuries, initially told troopers he was hit when Whitman changed lanes, the report says.
Lowery, 21, later changed his story and told troopers he was hit after he stuck his arm into Whitman’s lane of travel in an effort to “catch a ride,” the report says.
Lowery said he was hitchhiking because his car had broken down and he couldn’t get hold of anyone to give him a lift.
After troopers questioned him about his sobriety at the time of the crash, Lowery admitted to having three to four drinks and taking at least one Lortab prior to the crash.
Blood samples were taken from Lowery and submitted to the State Police Crime Lab for analysis.
A trooper issued Lowery a misdemeanor summons for pedestrian soliciting rides. Whitman, who initially fled the scene, was issued a summons for failure to report an accident.
Tommy Damico, Johns’ attorney, said the Sept. 4 incident calls Lowery’s credibility into question and thus the arrest of his client.
“The only evidence the police have are Lowery and the girl he was with that night,” Damico said. “They’ve based their case on those two people.”
Damico said Lowery was drinking the night of the fight and did not give an accurate statement to police about Johns’ involvement in the incident.
