Bodycam Footage Of FBI Confronting Caitlin Clark Stalker Released By Police

Police have released body camera footage of both FBI agents and Indianapolis police confronting the stalker of Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark, doing so in a hotel located downtown only days prior to him being arrested.

Originally from Denton, Texas, Michael Lewis, 55, was harassing Clark on social media since Dec. 2024, sending multiple threatening and sexually explicit messages. In January, he took a trip to Indianapolis where he claimed he was on vacation. (RELATED: Third Arrest Made In WNBA’s Sex Toy Fiasco)

Released over the weekend and recorded Jan. 8, the bodycam footage shows Lewis appearing just outside of his hotel room as he was being questioned by agents regarding his antics. Attempting to downplay his behavior, Lewis told authorities that he had “an imaginary relationship” with Clark and was “just on vacation.”

“It’s just an imaginary relationship,” said Lewis in the video. “It doesn’t involve any threats. Just a play fun thing.”

Lewis received several warnings to no longer post about Clark, however, he continued. Just four days later (Jan. 12), he was placed under arrest and hit with two charges: stalking (felony) and harassment (misdemeanor). The 55-year-old pleaded guilty back in July to both.

As a result, Lewis was issued a prison sentence of two and a half years and was given an order to have no contact whatsoever with Clark. The Indiana Fever, as well as the Pacers, banned him from their games, and he’s no longer allowed at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and Hinkle Fieldhouse. Lewis has also been banned from using the internet.

“This resolution holds the defendant accountable for his threatening actions, the fear he caused and the disruption he created,” said Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears, per OutKick. “He will now serve two and a half years in the Department of Corrections, allowing the victim to focus on what matters to her with peace of mind.”
