Friday happens to be Fresno City College's last day of class for the fall semester, and it is most likely Lewis' last time on the football team. Clovis investigators say they have been watching Lewis for the past four months and busted him for dealing ecstasy and cocaine.
Last month's state center bowl was the final game- 21-year-old Emmanuel Lewis played with his team. The star quarterback landed in jail Thursday night after undercover investigators met him at a Clovis fast food restaurant. Lewis is accused of selling drugs from the parking lot. The investigation then moved to his Fresno apartment. Janet Stoll-Lee from the Clovis Police Department said, "They served a search warrant at his home after that and found scales and packaging materials. And his child was in the car when he was selling the drugs yesterday."
Police also charged Lewis with child endangerment. He played football two years for Fresno City College. While school officials refused to comment on camera, we did find the campus drug policy online. It states: For the protection of other students, the governing board may suspend or expel a student if he or she used, sold or possessed narcotics on campus. But the policy does not address what happens to students like Lewis.
David Foust attends most city college football games. He says- Lewis has a good reputation off the field, "Stand up guy, always went to his classes. Back and forth- already went to a D-1 college, probably came back to get his grades all the way right."
Lewis' son was placed in foster care. Lewis remains in jail on $75,000 bail. The DA's office could file charges on Monday.
