He also faces five misdemeanor counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Police searched Lewis’ car and retrieved a gun and five items of drug paraphernalia.
Lewis was being held Tuesday (Jan. 22) at the Benton County Jail on a $15,000 bond. He has a hearing set for Feb. 25 in Benton County Circuit Court.
