FBI investigates threats against Ravens LB Lewis
By wire services
Published February 13, 2005
BALTIMORE - The FBI is investigating two e-mails that reportedly threatened Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, a federal law enforcement spokesman said Saturday.
The e-mails were traced to Akron, Ohio, and agents executed a search warrant Wednesday, said Special Agent Robert Hawk, a spokesman for the FBI's Cleveland office. On Saturday, the Baltimore Sun reported the suspect is believed to be related to one of two men killed in a fight in 2000 in Atlanta. Lewis was charged with murder along with two others.
Charges against Lewis were subsequently dropped and he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor obstruction of justice charges. He was sentenced to a year of probation.
Hawk would not comment on the identity of the person believed to have sent the e-mails. No arrests have been made, but Hawk said the investigation was focusing on a specific person.
