What a bizarre, needless nightmare
Michael Lowe didn’t know why he’d just been forced to spend more than two weeks in an overcrowded rural jail in New Mexico. He also didn’t know why authorities had suddenly decided to release him. Dragging himself into his home after a brutal two-day bus journey back to Arizona, Lowe couldn’t do anything but “sob until he could no longer stand.”
The experience shook “his identity to the core and cast a pall over his view of the world,” according to thewhich first reported the suit. Because of “American Airlines’ mistake,” court documents read, Lowe now suffers from anxiety, depression, and “an ongoing state of hypervigilance that has robbed him of any ability to rest or relax.”
For unknown reasons, however, when police asked American Airlines for passenger manifests on each person on the Reno flight, the company only sent in Lowe’s information. Police then issued two arrest warrants for Lowe, according to court records. In the Tucumcari jail, Lowe alleges, “the terror” he experienced over “the next 17 days was existential.” No one in the facility wore a mask as COVID surged, and authorities refused to explain to him why he had been accused of criminal mischief and felony burglary of a building. It was eight days before he saw a judge, and he was never given a lawyer.
