Newly wed couple arrested for kidnapping and raping a woman on their honeymoon

 

A newlywed couple have been arrested after they were accused of kidnapping and raping a woman. 

Rashada Hurley, 32, and Timothy Lowe, 37, were arrested Wednesday on sexual battery, kidnapping, robbery and grand theft charges, less than two days after they were arrested for indecent exposure, petty theft and cocaine possession charges, according to arrest reports.

The newly wed are also facing shoplifting charges after they were caught naked outside a shop in Florida.

According to Police, the bizarre series of events began on Sunday, when Hurley and Lowe kidnapped a 27-year-old woman from the parking lot of the Publix at 155 E. 2nd Avenue in Hialeah.

In the police report, the victim said she was leaving the grocery store when Hurley approached her car and punched her in the head through an open car window, adding that, Lowe then drove the victim's car to a Motel 6 on Northwest 36th Street in Miami, where Hurley booked a room using the victim's credit card.

Police said, while they were in the room, Hurley and Lowe sexually battered the woman, but she was able to escape when the pair became distracted

Hours after the motel incident, Hurley and Lowe allegedly walked into a 7-Eleven on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami completely nude and took two sodas without paying. Minutes later and just blocks away, the two also were spotted walking nude through a Walgreens, according to the arrest reports.

Lowe and Hurley were arrested and charged with indecent exposure and petit theft, but were released once they paid a fine. The pair was later arrested for the more serious crimes which they initially committed. 

Timothy and Hurley, who are from Georgia, are being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without bond.
