Freddy Lowe has been charged with aggravated assault and cruelty to children.
A LaFayette, Ga., man accused of holding his ex-wife and son at gunpoint during a police standoff was among 31 people indicted by the Walker County grand jury this week.
LaFayette police arrested Freddy Lowe on July 19 after a negotiator persuaded him to surrender following a 11/2 hour standoff inside his ex-wife’s home.
Lowe was indicted on 19 charges on Tuesday, including three counts of aggravated assault and 10 counts of third-degree cruelty to children, court records show.
Lowe’s 17-year-old son and the teen’s 18-year-old friend were inside the house when Lowe barged through the back door, police Sgt. Darin Kelley said in a previous interview. Lowe threatened to kill his son, ex-wife and himself, but his ex-wife called 911 when he wasn’t looking, authorities said.
Other indictments released this week included charges of methamphetamine trafficking, burglary and aggravated assault.
