Suspect in attack on Hilton Head woman, her young son arrested in Beaufort County
A 24-year-old man who allegedly threatened his ex-girlfriend with a knife, slashed the bed she was lying on and dumped her and her son onto the floor in a Hilton Head Island home Monday morning has been arrested, according to a Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office report.
Dimitri Lowry, of Charlotte, North Carolina, allegedly entered the victim’s Point Comfort Club neighborhood home just before noon through a broken window, punched the woman in the face, and cut the mattress before flipping it over, causing mother and child to fall to the floor, a Sheriff’s Office report said. He grabbed hundreds of dollars in cash and punched the woman in the face again, the report said.
The victim then ran out the front door, pulled her son to safety through the broken window and drove to her sister’s house to call 911, the report said.
Lowry was booked into the Beaufort County Detention Center Tuesday afternoon and faces charges of first degree domestic violence, two counts of second degree domestic violence, first degree burglary, two counts of petit larceny, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, according to the jail log.
