The Texas man arrested for allegedly sending threats and sexually explicit messages to WNBA star Caitlin Clark made an appearance in court. He made it known about his status as a criminal.

Back in January, Marion County prosecutors charged 55-year-old Michael Thomas Lewis of Denton, Texas, with felony stalking.

Michael Thomas Lewis had multiple outbursts during his first appearance in court after he had been arrested.

Moments after Marion County Superior Court Judge Angela Davis called his case, Lewis, without prompting, shouted out that he was “guilty as charged.”

He later blurted out “Throw me the booky!” and “I’m free! I guess you got the wrong guy!”

 

Lewis confirmed that he cannot afford an attorney and that he is not working. The judge asked him if he resided in Texas, and he responded: “Sort of. I live in my vehicle.”

Lewis signed court orders agreeing to stay away from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the home arena of the Indiana Fever, and to have no contact with Caitlin Clark.

Caitlin Clark’s Stalker Could Spend Years in Prison

55-year-old Michael Thomas Lewis of Denton, Texas, is charged with one count of stalking, accused of engaging in a “course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of Caitlin Clark that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized.”

From December to January, Lewis used x, formally Twitter, X to send a series of vulgar, sexually graphic messages to Clark.

According to the court affidavit, police found him through an IP address linking him to a hotel on West Market Street and the downtown branch of the Indianapolis Public Library.

This is clearly a dangerous man who should not be free.

If convicted, Lewis faces one to six years in prison for a Level 5 felony and a fine of up to $10,000.

Clint Eastwood turned 95 recently, but it hasn’t been an easy year for the legendary actor and director.

On Tuesday, fans across the country poured out messages of support as news spread about his recent struggles. Eastwood has been mourning the sudden death of his longtime partner, Christina Sandera, who passed away from a heart attack earlier this year.

The Hollywood icon has kept a low profile since her passing. For fans who’ve followed his career for decades, seeing Eastwood go through this personal loss has struck a chord. Though the actor has rarely been seen in public in recent months, his son Scott Eastwood shared a welcome update that gave many people a reason to breathe a little easier.

Scott Eastwood, in a recent interview, reassured fans that his father is holding up. “He’s doing good,” he said. “He’s a survivor, a trouper. He was born coming out of the Great Depression, and then he was young during World War II. He saw a lot of struggle.” That perspective seems to be carrying Eastwood through yet another chapter of hardship.

 

Supporters didn’t hesitate to show their love. Social media lit up with tributes, memories, and heartfelt messages. Many highlighted not only his contributions to film but also his resilience as a person.

“There are literally hundreds of reasons why a man doesn’t get better with age,” one fan posted on X.

Another fan commented, “HE IS NEVER GONNA STOP!!!!”

Another fan chimed in, “I hope he blesses us with his presence for many more years!”

Photographs from December 2018 show Eastwood attending the premiere of The Mule with Sandera by his side. The two had been together for years, and her sudden loss clearly left a mark on him. Though the grief remains, Eastwood isn’t ready to slow down completely. In an interview with Kurier on May 30, he reflected on aging with intent. “There’s no reason why a man can’t get better with age,” he said. “And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I’m not one of them.”

Clint Eastwood, who has eight children- Laurie, Kimber, Alison, Francesca, Kyle, Kathryn, Scott and Morgan- continues to lean on family during this time. For fans, the hope is simple: that he keeps creating, keeps going, and, most of all, keeps finding strength in the days ahead.
