Description
A Texas man was arrested after allegedly sending numerous threats and sexually explicit messages to Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark on social media, according to the Marion County Prosecutor's Office.
Michael Lewis, 55, of Denton, Texas, was charged with felony stalking and arrested on Sunday, Jan. 12 in Indianapolis.
According to court documents, Lewis was sending the threats and sexually explicit messages to Clark on X, formerly known as Twitter, so the FBI sent an emergency disclosure request to X, requesting Lewis' account information.
At his initial hearing Tuesday, Jan. 14, the court entered a preliminary plea of not guilty on Lewis' behalf, also appointing him an attorney.
The court ordered a no contact order with Clark, and Lewis must stay away from Gainbridge Fieldhouse and Hinkle Fieldhouse.
Lewis' bond was set for $50,000 surety, and a pretrial hearing is scheduled for March 31.
