GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina State coach Sidney Lowe asked Wolfpack fans for "support and understanding" Wednesday after his son was charged with crimes ranging from armed robbery to drug possession.
"This is a difficult time for my son, myself and my family," Lowe said in a statement issued by the school. "We appreciate the support and understanding of the Wolfpack family."

On Tuesday, University of North Carolina at Greensboro police said 21-year-old Sidney R. Lowe Jr. was charged with nine counts, including a felony of aiding and abetting attempted armed robbery in connection the shooting of a man in a campus dorm Saturday.
Locke Clifford, Lowe Jr.'s attorney, said Greensboro police also filed 13 charges against his client in connection with an incident March 16.
Clifford said Lowe Jr. is charged with six counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, six counts of second-degree kidnapping and one count of assault inflicting serious bodily injury. He said Lowe and another man are accused of going to a house with six people in it and striking one of them on the head with a bottle.
"We understand what a difficult time this must be for the Lowe family," N.C. State athletic director Lee Fowler said. "I have spoken with Sidney and assured him that we support our coach and will do what we can for him and his family as they deal with this situation."
Clifford said Lowe insists he is innocent, and that he turned himself in at the Guilford County Magistrate's Office on Tuesday. Campus police said Lowe was released on a $450,000 secured bond.
The other charges filed by UNC Greensboro police include: two counts of possession of a weapon on educational property; possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana; maintaining a dwelling for the keeping and selling of a controlled substance; possession of between a half an ounce and 1.5 ounces of marijuana; and three counts of stolen goods or property.
The charges were filed after Lowe's home in Greensboro was searched Monday, police said. Lowe was enrolled last year at North Carolina A&T University, but is no longer a student there.
The campus shooting occurred Saturday inside Weil Hall at UNC Greensboro. Freshman Stephen Cobb suffered gunshot wounds that were described as not life-threatening.
Brian Patrick Martin, 19, of Greensboro, was arrested soon after the shooting on charges of attempted murder and attempted robbery charges.
