The 55-year-old is in custody over multiple disturbing messages directed at Clark and was apprehended in Indianapolis after driving from Texas just to make a nuisance of himself.

He shouted, “Guilty as charged!” while his case was being called by the Judge. He yelled, “Throw me the book!” shortly after and was asked to stop talking by the clearly flustered Judge.

Later on, he noted that his name did not include “Jr.”

“I’m free! I guess you got the wrong guy!” he claimed.

The Denton, Texas native has been charged with one count of stalking, a Level 5 felony in Indianapolis, and engaging in a “course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of Caitlin Clark that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized.”

After Marion County Superior Court Judge Angela Davis read the charges, he asked whether he could say something and was told, “Not yet.”

At one point, Lewis was asked whether he had any mental illness and replied, “I need my medicines.” He said he lived in his vehicle after being asked whether he lived in Texas, claiming the 2016 Toyota Avalon is worth “ballpark 10 grand.”

The defendant was made to sign court orders agreeing to stay away from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, have no contact with Clark, and to stay out of Hinkle Fieldhouse, where Clark’s boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, works.

The judge entered a plea of not guilty and informed him that he would be kept in custody as he could not pay the $50,000 bond set.

“I don’t want bond, bail, whatever. I’m here. I’m staying,” he said.
