Det. Scotty Lowery Fails to Heed His Own Admonition

Russellville detective Scotty Lowery has recently made the news with his testimony in the Christie Bray Scott murder trial, during which defense attorney Robert Tuten implied Lowery was guilty of perjury concerning his role in the investigation. Lowery, pictured at right, is no stranger to TimesDaily news reports where he is frequently quoted concerning Russellville law and order.

In a TimesDaily article from October 2007, Det. Lowery made the following pronouncement:

Lowery said the Web sites are good ways to find background on suspects or on potential victims.

"Some people will put their entire life story on their profiles, so it's there to check," he said.

This certainly sounds like good advice; too bad Det. Lowery chose not to apply it to his own social networking site. Scotty Lowery's profile may be found on PoliceLink where he enumerates his must-have gear. Among these necessary items are a Glock, Taser, Oakley sunglasses, and Bud LIght in an aluminum bottle.

Aluminum bottle? Well, we certainly wouldn't want Det. Lowery to damage his unmarked Crown Victoria with broken glass, now would we?


What's up with this: Sources say Christie Bray Scott has already initiated a five million dollar lawsuit against the city of Russellville. Considering the town's track record in the case so far, she just might win.
