NJ Woman Ran Over Friend At Strip Club While Drunk: Police

ANDOVER, NJ — A Pompton Lakes woman is accused of getting drunk and running another woman over with her car several times in a strip club parking lot, Andover police said.

Jacqueline Lowe, 22, of Pompton Lakes was arrested following the early-Wednesday morning incident at the Bare Den strip club, police said, after allegedly feeling the scene.

According to Andover police, Lowe was drunk when she ran another woman over with her car several times. The other woman, who police did not identify, was seriously injured. She was airlifted to Morristown Medical Center and is now in stable condition.

Lowe drove away from the club and was later pulled over on Rote 206 in Byram, police said, where she was arrested. Lowe was charged with aggravated assault, assault by auto, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, and possession of a weapon. She also faces several auto offenses, including driving while intoxicated, driving while suspended, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident with injury, and failure to report an accident.

The two women were reportedly very good friends, officials said at a Thursday hearing in Sussex County Superior Court.

NJ Herald reported that Lowe had been a patron at the club before the fight broke out. Lowe reportedly mouthed "I'm so sorry" to the victim's parents during the Thursday hearing.

Lowe might face additional charges; Assistant Prosecutor Sahil Kabse reportedly said the prosecutor's office is seriously considering filing attempted murder charges. She will remain in jail as the charged against her are pending.
