A man whose jealousy-fueled rampage triggered an emergency alert and lockdown of metro schools and businesses has been sentenced to time served for running afoul of his parole.
Thirty-five-year-old Matthew Fowler got a seven-year sentence for the incident in C.B.S. and Paradise in September of 2022.
He went after at least two men said to have been messaging with his girlfriend on Facebook. One of the victims was shot in the hand and thigh.
The alert was lifted with Fowler’s arrest after a brief and dangerous pursuit on St. Thomas’s Line.
Fowler was granted parole last July but in October broke curfew from his halfway house and disappeared for almost a month before police caught up to him at his mother’s house.
In court today he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 90 days for being at large, but remains in custody with his parole now revoked.
It’s still not clear why he didn’t make curfew or where he was for the three weeks he was on the lam.
