Court records shows that police were called to the South Pleasant Drive in Feasterville after a report Lowry was hitting her husband in the stomach. When Lowry’s daughter stepped in to help her father, Lowry reportedly put her hands around her neck, pushing her away. Lowry’s son also told police he was attacked when the 46 year old noticed he was calling authorities.

Police reported Lowry’s family members that were alleged involved all bore injuries reflective of their stories.

Lowry awaits a preliminary hearing set for March 15.
