On May 23, 2018 at about 2:00 AM Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputies responding to the 300 block of Vista Terrace in Depoe Bay to a report of a disturbance involving a gun and round being fired inside the residence. Deputies were able to contact the caller outside the home and determined there was an argument over property inside the home between the caller and family member Christopher A.

Deputies called Lowes outside where he was taken into custody without incident.  Lowes was transported to the Lincoln County Jail where he is being held on charges of Menacing, Unlawful Use of a Firearm, and Recklessly Endangering with a bail set at $80,000.00.
