Lewis traveled from Denton, Texas, to Indianapolis to be closer to the Indiana Fever star, 22, after sending a series of “threatening and s3xually violent” messages to Clark on X.
In one message, Lewis told Clark he had been “driving around her house 3x a day,” according to court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun.
Lewis allegedly asked the WNBA superstar “not to call the law yet” before he continued sending s3xually explicit messages.
The FBI was able to ping an IP address on one of Lewis’ recent messages to a hotel in Indianapolis.

When Indianapolis police visited Lewis at the hotel on January 8, the man downplayed his actions and said the posts were merely a joke, “an imagination, and fantasy type thing.”
Authorities asked Lewis why he messaged Clark so much on X, to which he allegedly responded, “Just the same reason everybody makes posts.”
At one point, Lewis denied sending any threatening messages before claiming that “this is just an imaginary relationship.”
When asked by authorities why he was in Indianapolis, Lewis claimed he was on vacation.
