Deputies arrested a 19-year-old after he allegedly forced his way into a home with a firearm and threatened a teenage girl on Thursday afternoon. According to the Knox County Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened around 3:30 p.m. on August 28 on Wessel Road. A 17-year-old victim told deputies her ex-boyfriend, Gaige Michael Lewis, followed her home from school and entered her house with a gun. Friends recorded video of Lewis entering the residence with the weapon, which was shared with investigators. Lewis fled before deputies arrived but was later located on Barclay Drive. He was taken into custody and booked into the Knox County Jail on charges of intimidation with a deadly weapon (Level 5 felony), burglary while armed with a deadly weapon (Level 2 felony), and driving while suspended with a prior conviction (Class A misdemeanor). He remains held without bond as formal charges are pending.
