TMZ is reporting that Lowe was working a story earlier this week in a Goodyear, AZ neighborhood when nature called.
Waters watched as Lowe “picked up several papers” from the ground and then walked across the street to the house opposite hers.
Once there, Lowe popped a squat and “proceeded to defecate in the yard of the residence”, authorities describe. Upon their arrival, Lowe reportedly said, “I know what you want to talk to me about”, according to the report.
The woman who dobbed him in said she would have been happy for the reporter to use her toilet if he had knocked on her door. “I’ve been feeling very sick and I’ve been stuck in this van all day”, he said.
According to court documents, he told officers that he chose the dog, broke its neck, and police later discovered the poor poodle “dead in the smoker”.
Lowe is expected to appear in court on June 21.
Lowe, who is 33, hails from Charlotte, North Carolina, and has worked in newsrooms in North Carolina and MI, in addition to Arizona.
His future at CBS 5 is uncertain, although his bio page has been wiped clean.
KPHO news director Dan Wilson told the Times Wednesday that Lowe was still employed, though the channel’s Thursday night write-up of their colleague’s legal troubles called him a “former KPHO/KTVK reporter”.

That said, the newsman’s departure appears to be of his own doo-ing.
