A Vina man and former Red Bay High School football standout is once again in jail after a Franklin County judge revoked his bond this week on a pending felony charge of Electronic Solicitation of a Child.

Jonathan Randall ‘Randy’ Lowery, 39, saw his felony bond revoked by Franklin County Circuit Judge Brian Hamilton after the Franklin County District Attorney’s Office filed a motion to revoke Lowery’s bond based on an allegation he violated a bond condition ordering him not to have any contact with any female under the age of 18.

The motion to revoke, filed July 27th, alleges that on July 13, 2026, Lowery violated his bond condition by messaging an underage female.

According to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, Lowery sent impermissible non-sexual messages to a 16 year old girl. The messages were reviewed by the Sheriff’s Office, which then contacted the District Attorney’s Office.

Lowery’s pending felony charge is based on a September 2025 indictment charging him with unlawfully soliciting a 15 year old girl to meet him for sexual activity. He faces an additional misdemeanor charge in the indictment of Illegal Possession of Alcoholic Beverages.

Lowery’s trial on those charges is set for later this year in Franklin County Circuit Court.

Lowery turned himself at the Franklin County Jail after learning there was a warrant for his arrest.

Unless his bond is reinstated, Lowery will remain in jail until his felony case is resolved.

Lowery, who played football at Red Bay, Northeast Mississippi Community College, West Alabama University and the Arena Football League’s Orlando Predators, is a 2005 Red Bay graduate.

In 2012, Lowery was invited to participate in the National Football League Combine/Pro Days before a hamstring injury ended his hopes of landing a free agent contract.

If convicted of Electronic Solicitation of a Child, a Class B felony, Lowery would face a prison sentence of two to 20 years, mandatory lifetime registration under the Community Notification Act and a fine up to $15,000.

His bond on that charge was $100,000, before it was revoked by the Court.
