ELMONT, NY — A 31-year-old man was arrested Tuesday morning in connection with a pair of assaults that took place in 2024 and 2025, police said.
Nassau County police said Elmont resident Jerald Lowe was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with second-degree assault, third-degree assault, fourth-degree criminal mischief, leaving the scene of an incident with serious injury and aggravated unlicensed operation.
The arrests stem from a pair of incidents from recent years, police said, including a 2024 argument that turned physical and a 2025 car crash that left a 58-year-old woman with a fractured spine.
In that 2025 crash, police said Lowe had been driving an unregistered, uninsured Toyota Solara when he ran a stop sign and hit a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Police said the crash caused Lowe’s Toyota onto the sidewalk, where it hit a 58-year-old woman from behind and caused the spinal fracture. After the crash, Lowe got out of his car, got his things and fled the scene without calling police, police said.
Lowe was arrested Tuesday at 5:50 a.m., police said. During an investigation, police said they found that Lowe had an open arrest warrant in Georgia for firearm possession, obstruction of law enforcement and reckless conduct.
Lowe’s was scheduled for arraignment Tuesday in Mineola, police said.
