His Evil Ranking[]
What makes him close to Pure Evil[]
- A sheriff deputy, he secretly betrayed the sheriff's by running various criminal organizations, specifically a drug, weapon, and human trafficking ring, eventually, manipulating them into joining.
- it's highly likely he killed dozens of other innocent people or rivals to protect and advance his crime organizations.
- His human trafficking doesn't rely on offscreen villainy as its shown that when the BAU enter his scrapyard, several illegal immigrants are being smuggled across the border, and they escape the moment they can.
- Viewing the lead sheriff as a danger to his rings, he attempted to shoot him in a fabricated shootout, but when it didn't work, poisoned him, including forced Dinah Stidham to stay quiet or else he would kill her son.
- Unfortunately for them, a group of prostitutes, hired by Justin Mills, witnessed them, Owen started blackmailing them but in the series of the episodes, killed them or ordered them to have tortured them with stab and slash wounds to the back. In the beginning, they killed Abigail Jones and Tabitha Ryerson
- Even worse, before murdering them, he did consensual sadomasochism with them first, which could be considered rape if they were threatened to do it or they did it to save themselves from being hurt, which ultimately failed.

- When Travis Henson, who was threatened by Mills to find McGregor but secrectly worked with Owen came to him, he tricks him by giving him drugs but feigns the deal and shoots him with a M1911, he then killed 2 more prostitutes and propped them up by Henson's body
- Mills, preparing to ambush him and the deputies, is instead ambushed himself and Owen responds by shooting at Mills and killing Peter Coleman
- Due to instigating the shootout, he directly gets Spencer Reid shot in the throat by Mills, other deputies killed, and getting the latter killed by Derek Morgan.
- Ordered Marty Bennett, Vicky Lorenzana, Greg Baylor, and several of his men to kill the BAU, when it failed however, tried to get Penelope Garcia and Reid killed after Garcia shut and locked a door on him.
- Shot and killed Marty Bennett and Vicky Lorenzana, one of them being his right-hand man for failing to kill Rossi and Blake.
- In the scrapyard confrontation, he was shown trafficking humans across the border and getting his corrupt deputies to attack Jennifer Jareau and Derek Morgan, while he himself got into a fistfight with Hotchner which leads to him being shot.
- Due to getting Spencer Reid shot in the throat, Alex calls Reid by her deceased sons name, Ethan, because he sees him as a son figure, also leading to her revealing her trauma of how her son died of a sickness and her resigning from the force because of guilt of getting him shot.
What prevents him from being Pure Evil?[]
- While he runs several criminal organizations (Which includes human trafficking), tortures and murders prostitutes with the ruse of consensual S&M, which could be rape if threatened, and has personal villainy, he still fails the massive heinous standard due to having only 11 confirmed victims, a ten+ attempted kill count, and his human trafficking not being as vile as Lucy (Season 6), Alex Zorgen (Season 10), Thomas Luca and Clark Page (Suspect Behavior), and overarching antagonist and cult leader of Evolution season two, Frank Church.
