Michael Thomas Lewis faces felony stalking charges after threatening Caitlin Clark online
Indianapolis: So, here’s the scoop. Michael Thomas Lewis, a guy from Texas, has been charged with felony stalking. He sent some seriously disturbing messages to Caitlin Clark, who plays for the Fever. This all came to light thanks to local Indiana media.
Lewis made the trip from Texas to Indianapolis and got arrested at a hotel on North Market Street. The police caught up with him after he sent those messages, and he claimed his relationship with Clark was just in his head.
