Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell said on Aug. 8, Lowther was taken to the Springboro police station for a Breathalyzer test for suspicion of drunk driving by Franklin police.
He said Lowther allegedly refused to exit the Franklin police cruiser when they arrived at the Springboro police station.
Fornshell said while police were reading the required documents before the test could be conducted to Lowther, he allegedly kicked the Franklin officer and became verbally abusive and threatened to kill him.
When Lowther was asked to use an electronic stylus and pad to sign his name that the information had been read to him, he allegedly used the stabbed the electronic pad repeatedly with the stylus, Fornshell said.
Lowther is being held in the Warren County Jail without bond. He is slated to be arraigned on the charges on Sept. 22 in Warren County Court.
