Ohio (UPI)-Lowell Skinner, the former Army cor poral who chose to remain in Communist China at the end of hostilities in the Korean con flict, and only recently returned to this country, is to appear in Municipal Court Friday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Skinner. 32. was arrested aft er a shooting incident at the home of an East Akron woman Monday night. He was held on $2,500 bond pending the hear ing. He was arrested after two teen-aged boys claimed Skinner shot at them during an argu ment at the home of Mrs. Rob erta Longgood, 28, whose hus band, Jack, is serving a term in the Ohio Penitentiary for rob bery. Wife Has TB Skinner's Chinese wife, whom hi said has tuberculosis of the brain, remained in Red China when he returned to the United Stales in August. He said then he expected her to follow him here soon. George Bye. 17. and Harlan j Monroe, 18, told police Skinner j accused them of "trying to cut him out" with Mrs. Longgood ; when he found them in the woman's home Monday night, and threatened to kill them. The boys said Skinner drew a 22-caliber pistol and fired one ' shot, then aimed the gun at Bye's head and told the youths ; to leave Mrs. Lonpgood's home , and never return. They left and called police. Skinner was picked up a short time later driving around the neighborhood. "I did not shoot at them," he told officers. "I j could have hit them if I wanted ! to. I just wanted them to leave j me alone." I Says Was Threatened Skinner told officers he car ried the gun because of threat- !ening letters he received. He I has lived with his elderly par ents in their trailer home in Portage Lakes since his return I from China, and has been work ing part-time as a carpenter. The Akron native was cap I tured in Korea in 1950 and I spent three years as a prisoner of war before refusing repatria- lion. He violently objects to be- ing termed a "turncoat." Skin j ner said he refused repatriation j because he wanted to see China and to travel, but would not I say why the Communists al- lowed him to return to the U.S. When he returned he ex pressed "no regrets" for his ac tions. "I'd do it all over again if the same conditions existed," he said. A thin, almost gaunt-looking man, Skinner said his dishonor able discharge from the Army in 1954 was unwarranted and unfair. The Army turned him down in his attempt to collect $1,700 in back pay after his return.
