State Patrol Releases Video of Braves Pitcher Derek Lowe's Arrest
Channel 11 tape shows full incident; charges were dropped in case
From Patch Staff Reports
The Georgia State Patrol has released a dash-cam videotape showing Braves pitcher Derek Lowe's being stopped on Peachtree Road in Buckhead in late April. He was charged with racing against another driver and DUI, but the charges were later dropped when a judge ruled that prosecutors had insufficient evidence.
On the tape, Lowe is shown denying racing or drinking. In the incident, Lowe allegedly refused a breathalyzer and was then given a field sobriety test, which troopers say he failed. He was then arrested.
Atlanta TV stations have been running the tape. Here is a link to Channel 11's report, which includes Lowe driving his car down Peachtree Road and being pulled over.
