Man Charged with Stalking WNBA Star Clark

Michael Lewis Jr., 55, faced a tumultuous court hearing in Marion County, Indiana, where he is charged with felony stalking of WNBA star Caitlin Clark. During the proceedings, Lewis repeatedly interrupted Judge Angela Davis, declaring himself 'guilty as charged' and insisting he needed medication for his mental health. Davis entered a not guilty plea on his behalf and set bail at $50,000, prohibiting him from contacting Clark or visiting her team's venues. Lewis is accused of sending threatening and sexually violent messages to Clark via X, including claims of driving by her house and other alarming statements that prompted her to alter her public appearance due to safety concerns. Prosecutors highlighted the seriousness of the situation, emphasizing the courage it takes for victims to come forward in stalking cases. If convicted, Lewis could face up to six years in prison.
