EVERETT — A convicted murderer with a history of mental illness is back behind bars after being on the lam last week.
Lowell Gene Lowe, 52, was arrested Saturday and booked into the Snohomish County Jail for a parole violation. He has been listed as a fugitive twice this year for failing to report to the state Department of Corrections.
Lowe is classified as a high risk to commit a new violent crime. He served more than 10 years in state prison for a second-degree murder conviction. Since being freed in July 2013, Lowell has been jailed seven times for violating conditions of his release.
Lowe had been drinking and using methamphetamine and was off medication for paranoid schizophrenia when he killed.
