Charges Over Dog Poop Assault Dropped
March 4, 2010
Charges have been been dropped against a Century man arrested on domestic violence and aggravated assault charges after his girlfriend said he attacked her after a dog pooped on a bed.
William Mel Lowery, 52, was arrested in August and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill and felony battery by strangulation in a domestic violence situation.
Charges were dropped against Lowery after the alleged victim recanted her statements.
In August, 2009, the victim told Deputy James Gilman and prosecutors that Lowery “entered the bedroom and observed that their dog had defecated on the bed sheets”. That is when, according the victim’s statements, Lowery became angry and woke up the female victim. The victim said the two got into an argument over the dog using the bed sheets, according to the original arrest report, before the incident escalated into a physical altercation.

This is crazy..
Mercy,
Now see, here’s the thing: I don’t think we should be cleaning up AFTER kids. I don’t think we should teach them to clean up AFTER themselves either. I believe that they should be taught NOT TO MAKE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!
Shame on you, Terri! (Giggling behind hand)
Seriously, WHY would you attack your significant other because of something the DOG had done? Makes no sense to me. Oh well.
I love critters. Outside. Children are enough to clean up after inside without also having to tend to indoor animals.
Now Terri, Thats FUNNY…LOL Thanks for sharing.
You know why the dog is called man’s best friend?? put your spouse and a dog in the trunk of the car,and shut the trunk…come back a few hours later,open the trunk and see who is glad to see you!!!!
LOL!!!
Mans best friend like man best when man is friendly.
…LOL Doggy Poop In The Bed… Hopefully everything has gotten straightened out with this incident, but the man shouldn’t have never attacked his girlfriend… Hopefully he didn’t hurt the dog either.
Sounds like the dog was sending him a message.
I really have to wonder if he also assaulted the dog for the accident on the bed??
