A Denton man, Michael Thomas Lewis, faces charges of stalking WNBA star Caitlin Clark after disrupting a court hearing in Indianapolis. Lewis, 55, was arrested for sending threatening messages to Clark through social media. During the hearing, he repeatedly interrupted the proceedings, declaring himself guilty and causing disruptions. The judge told Lewis to remain silent, but he continued to speak out of turn. Lewis, who claimed to live in his vehicle, was ordered to stay away from Indianapolis basketball arenas where Clark plays and to have no contact with her. He expressed no intention of posting bail and said he would remain in Indiana. Lewis faces up to six years in jail if convicted of the charges. Clark, a 22-year-old basketball star, has been fearful for her safety due to Lewis’ messages, which included details of his attempts to see her in person. Police traced Lewis to a hotel in Indianapolis and the public library branch. Clark altered her public appearances and routines due to her safety concerns. Lewis’ bail was set at $50,000, and he was ordered to wear a GPS monitor if released. The case highlights the dangers of stalking and the importance of taking such threats seriously.
