March 26th marks a year since a family making their way to their vehicle outside a College Station restaurant were the victims of a strong armed robbery. On Monday, 29 year old Jeromy Lowery of Navasota and the Brazos County district attorney’s office reached a plea agreement where he was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Lowery admitted to waiting in the parking lot of the Wings ‘N More on University for the family to get inside their vehicle. Then Lowery snuck up, opened the front passenger door, grabbed a purse, and ran off. He also threatened the husband who was chasing him.
A College Station man has admitted to an armed robbery more than three years ago where one of two victims were shot to death. 22 year old Terence Johnson Jr. has been in jail since two months after the October 2014 incident in north Bryan. As part of a ten year sentence, Johnson has served more than half the five years required to become eligible for parole. As part of a plea agreement, the DA’s office dropped a murder charge against Johnson in the death of Detorrian Peterson. According to online court records, the agreement requires Johnson to testify against a third co-defendant. A second suspect is currently serving a 25 year sentence for the armed robberies.
A Bryan man could serve as little as 90 days and as much as ten years in prison after admitting to a robbery that took place in Bryan nearly two years ago. The DA’s office entered a plea agreement with 20 year old Jaquarius Hightower. He was indicted for an armed robbery that took place while giving the victim a ride home. If Hightower successfully completes what’s called a 90 day shock incarceration in prison, then he will be placed on ten years probation.
