Previous experiments observed a 4⁺ state in the N=28 nucleus S⁴⁴ and suggested that this state may exhibit a hindered E2-decay rate, inconsistent with being a member of the collective ground state band. We populate this state via two-proton knockout from a beam of exotic Ar⁴⁶ projectiles and measure its lifetime using the recoil distance method with the GRETINA γ-ray spectrometer. The result, 76(14)_stat(20)_syst ps, implies a hindered transition of B(E2;4⁺→2$$+\atop{1}$$)=0.61(19) single-particle or Weisskopf units strength and supports the interpretation of the 4⁺ state as a K=4 isomer, the first example of a high-K isomer in a nucleus of such low mass.
