Texas man charged with stalking Caitlin Clark after allegedly sending her threatening messages on social media
INDIANAPOLIS 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.
Court documents say investigators confirmed the recent messages from Lewis came from a hotel located in the 100 block of West Market Street in downtown Indianapolis and another IP address from a business in downtown Indy.
According to court documents, IMPD officers went to Lewis' hotel room on Wednesday, Jan. 8 on a welfare check.
