Social media messages from the man arrested for stalking Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark have been highlighted following the disturbing sequence of events.
A 55-year-old Texas native named Michael Lewis stands accused of contacting Clark via social media, where he made threats and sent s3xually explicit messages, before driving to Indianapolis.
Lewis has been charged with stalking, which is a Level 5 felony in Indianapolis.
Per TMZ, the Metropolitan Police Department noted having contacted Lewis last week, but he claimed he was in the area on vacation and that his messages were simply fantasy. He kept sending messages after the police asked him to stop, which eventually led to his arrest.

Marion County prosecutor Ryan Mears addressed the arrest in a statement on Monday.
