He’s back. His excellency, Nelson Lewis, has returned to Washington. Lewis was spotted driving an SUV around Georgetown Sunday night, arriving back in the District two weeks before his day in court.
Lewis, as you may recall, was arrested in November after allegedly sporting a Congressional lapel pin and identifying himself to police as Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga. He was charged with a single count of unlawful possession of a government insignia, a petty offense under federal law. This incident led to the unraveling of several stories that Lewis had been telling folks around town, including that he worked for the magazine Rolling Stone and that he held the title of the minister plenipotentiary for artistic endeavors to the Bahamas.
It was reported that Lewis was spending time at the Menninger Clinic in Texas for chronic lying, after he allegedly called reporters at Page Six and pretended to be Bank of America CEO Kenneth Lewis.
Lewis did not respond to an emailed request for comment. His trial is scheduled for March 16.
