Victims past criminal record listed on OKTC--mugshot looks different

OKTC has learned that the Marine at the center of an investigation into LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson, Andrew Lowery, has a criminal record in the state of Florida. In particular, Lowery was arrested in Okaloosa County in 2008 for a violation of Florida Statute 812-014, a theft statute. Lowery, pictured above in his mugshot, was charged with theft and placed on probation for the offense. You can review his probation agreement in Okaloosa County here.

On July 28, 2008 Lowery pled no contest to the crime of petit theft and was sentenced to 24 hours of community service, ordered to pay court costs, and sentenced to six months probation.

This is a significant revelation because past criminal history involving dishonesty can be used to question the credibility of a witness in cases such as these. Did Lowery disclose this past criminal history to the Baton Rouge police? Or did they learn of it elsewhere?

That remains to be seen. In the meantime Lowery's name and past criminal history furthers a story that appears to be near a boiling point in Baton Rouge.
