According to court documents, Lewis was charged with distributing fentanyl in May 2022. Court documents say Lewis was charged with distributing over 50 grams of meth during that same period. The US Attorney’s Office says Lewis qualified as a career offender under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines based on his criminal history. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case.
