Regarding the criminal history of Larry Lewis in Caddo Parish First Judicial District Court since District Attorney Stewart took office in December 2015, Lewis has two separate pending cases for which he is currently being prosecuted.
In one pending matter, Lewis is charged with Possession of Schedule 2 drugs (less than 2 grams) and Possession of Contraband in a Penal Institution. The offense date was November 16, 2024. His bond was set at a total of $7,500 by District Judge Donald Hathaway Jr. His next court date is March 19, 2025 before Judge Erin Leigh Waddell-Garrett.
In the other pending matter, Lewis is charged with Indecent Behavior with Juveniles. The offense date was May 9, 2024. His bond was set at a total of $50,000 by Judge Hathaway. His next court date is April 9, 2025, before Judge John D. Mosely Jr.
Lewis had a Possession of Firearm by a Convicted Felon jury trial on February 6, 2024, with an offense date of June 28, 2021, before Judge Mosely, which resulted in a hung jury. His bond was set at $75,250 by District Judge Ramona Emanuel. The Caddo Parish DA office is re-trying Lewis on this charge with the next court date set for April 9, 2025, before Judge Mosely.
Lewis’ other prior cases in Caddo Parish court during District Attorney Stewart’s term are as follows:
* Possession Schedule II (less than 28 grams), Aggravated Flight from an Officer, Switched Plates, Resisting an Officer, docket No. 388,976. The offense date was May 5, 2022. Bond was set at $25,000 by Judge Waddell-Garrett. At the preliminary examination, the court found that all offenses occurred in Bossier Parish, except the Possession of Schedule II charge. Lewis pleaded guilty to that charge before Judge Waddell-Garrett and she sentenced him to 2 years at hard labor. All other charges were dismissed upon a finding of the court that they did not occur in Caddo Parish.
* Illegal Possession of Stolen Firearms, docket No. 383,687. The offense date was June 28, 2021. The defendant was found to be in possession of a stolen firearm that was reported stolen from a business in 2010. SPD requested the charge be dismissed due to the statute of limitations, and the case was dismissed.
* Telephone Harassment, docket No. 370,128. The offense dates were February 18, 2019 through September 6, 2019. The defendant sent threatening texts to his ex-girlfriend. Lewis pleaded guilty before Judge Mosely and was sentenced to 6 months in the parish jail, suspended, and 1 year supervised probation with a permanent protective order issued in favor of the victim. A probation revocation warrant was filed on January 11, 2022 on the basis of Lewis never reporting to sign up for probation and failure to pay fees. No bond was set. On May 5, 2022 he paid all of his probation fees and the petition was dismissed by the probation division. Lewis’ next court date is April 9, 2025 before Judge Mosely for execution of sentence due to his failure to pay court costs. Because of the plea, other charges of Aggravated Flight, Reckless operation and other misdemeanor traffic violations were dismissed.
* Unauthorized Use of a Movable, docket No. 351,667. The offense date was July 25, 2017. The same ex-girlfriend victim was as in the telephone harassment case. Lewis took the keys and her car without permission. His bond was set at $5,000 by District Judge Brady O’Callaghan. Lewis was arrested on this warrant on August 20, 2017 after officers responded to an altercation between him and the victim. The victim was then also arrested for Aggravated Battery upon Lewis. On September 20, 2017, Lewis pleaded guilty to misdemeanor unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and Judge O’Callaghan sentenced him to 60 days in the parish jail.
Again, there is a $5,000 reward for information leading to Lewis’s arrest. Tipsters will remain anonymous and should call SPD at (318) 673-7373 to share any information on his whereabouts.
