In recent weeks, Lewis has claimed that the courts have no jurisdiction over him. If he tries that in court, the judge assigned to his case will not be amused.
It looks like Lewis has been released on bail.
He's been getting some free sovereign citizen legal advice on Facebook.
Louis is out of jail and is reacting to his arrest by threatening people. At least one of the ranchers he is placing a target on is likely the person who is pressing the criminal trespass charges.
Read the post. It's menacing.
I'm going to store some of Lewis' comments here, since they'll possibly be deleted.
A couple more.

Some at the more extreme end of right wing extremism have been fixated with ricin for decades. There was a limited interest in pure nicotine and abrin but those seemed to have died down in popularity after darknet sites like Black Market Reloaded were targeted by the FBI.
I was going to take some time and flesh out a thread of my findings, but when I pulled everything together, I found no cohesive ideology to hand my hat on.
Yesterday, the non-veteran founder of Veterans on Patrol, Lewis Arthur, was criminally indicted on felony trespass charges for breaking into and going through a private cattle ranch residence in June.
Lewis and his companions, two of whom were also indicted, videotaped themselves going through the residence and posted it online.
It was creepy.
In addition to Lewis, both Paul Flores (aka DarkSkyWatcher74) and Lucas Koloski were also indicted.
You have to admire Twitter's algorithm. "Cats and guns" is a pretty good description of my social media presence and they've made recommendations that are safer (less extreme) than the stuff I tend to post.
Compare that to YouTube. The animal recs are good (baby goats jumping on trampolines, etc.) but my recommended video list is mostly raging, trash-talking, violent-extremist, I'm-going-to-torture-and-kill-everyone-I-hate, fake news, and Russian news outlets (RT, Ruptly).
Hurricane Florence: Last night, the Oath Keepers told their supporters that the Cajun Navy has "formally" asked them to come to the Carolinas and provide them with armed security against looters.
This story has gotten these guys really frothed up about going after looters and violent criminals. abcnews.go.com/US/police-arre…
