The Lewis Family Arrives



Ray Lewis' Parents showed up just moments after their Son was taken away in handcuffs. Could you imagine doing this to your Family?

Many have suggested I revisit the story I produced last summer referencing alleged dumping of raw sewage into fields in Parsonsburg. Some confronted me today talking about how they've been trying to get Ray Lewis for some 8 years now for alleged illegal dumping.

It looks like the Sheriff's Department and WBI have their work cut out for them.

Let's not convict him just yet. He's been arrested, but there is a reason that people have trials...

Didn't Ray's father turn the business over to him?

At the press meeting, Mike Lewis mentioned that it was a Lewis employee that was driving the box truck when he pulled it. Does any one know who the employee was and why wasn't he/she arrested for transporting stolen goods or involvement in the theft sceme? They also didn't cover times of day that these things were stolen. Did someone have a key to county facility that was unaccounted for?

I think it's inappropriate to take a picture of his mom and dad...after all they didn't do it, and I'm sure they are hurting. They are a nice family...

I bet they are a nice family, but I bet they knew what was going on!!!

As far as someone having a key, sure they had a key, the county employee was the key. The employee supposedly worked right in Sharma's office, most things in the county don't have keys, those use key code pads, not an actual key. So I am sure this employee could get any code he wanted and the director of the landfill at Brick Kiln road was apparently just letting them come in there and take the stuff for a certain amount of money.
The guy driving the truck that sheriff Lewis stopped is Ray's right hand man from what I hear so I am sure he is being questioned and may be charged.

This man has takin taxpayers money and some of you said wait until the trial!! Please! He got caught period! His dad might be a nice man and his mom to but they knew. His dad was still a fixture in the company. I don't care if he owned property in MD and DE and that he is NO JOKE! The joke will be on him soon! He can't buy his way out of this one!

I can tell you for a fact that Ray's parents knew NOTHING about this!! Ray made a HUGE stupid mistake, but his father is the most honest and trust worthy man you could ever meet!!!! Don't judge the father for something the son did.

The investigation has been going on for over a year and the criminal activities have been going on much longer? I guess the poor innocent parents were just common lowly workers that new nothing about the expenditures and the books. How about a big ole BULLSHIT!!!!

Go pull that shit over on someone else. They may not do time or even get charged, but I will bet a dollar to a donut they knew something.

Unless you are the parents, you have now idea what someone knows about. Just a tidbit, this guy has a sister or sister in law that is a wico county sheriff.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It's a stupid mistake now. I bet he thought it was great until sheriff Lewis busted his A.

Anonymous said...

I was pretty sure it was his right hand man and the 6pm new confirmed it. Again, why wasn't he charged on the scene? I looked up this man on the MD judiciary case search and his name is not showing as having any new charges for today or last night, where Ray's are shown already. I'm sure he's singing, but if he was transporting and involved he needs to be charged just the same, Canary or no canary.

I hope Bubba hangs one up in him for all of us. I want to cast an automatic vote for Sheriff Lewis for as long as he wants to be our sheriff.

Anonymous said...

So who was driving the truck? Anyone know? I do know a few people indirectly that work for Ray and am just curious. Why are people connecting this Danny guy with Ray? The only other thing I have to say is what a shame. Ray had such a what seemed to be, great profitable businesses has just ruined it for himself. As they say money is the root of all evil. Guess GREED got the best of him. How very sad.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree because regardless of the idiotic and stupid thing Ray did, he is still a good guy.
His dad sold the business to Ray years ago and yes he is a big part of it, but he DID NOT and would not participate in anything illegal. I don't care what kind of thing it is.

Anonymous said...

I do know for a fact...because they are my parents too!!!! You all are cruel. Ray did a stupid thing!!! Yes he did!!! But Mike Lewis talked with our father and he was NOT and WOULD never be involved with such a thing! And as far as the comment about his sister or sister in law...no I am not a sheriff and how could he have a sister in law since he only has 1 sister? And I will love him til the end!! I don't at all agree with what he did!! My parents and I were shocked to even hear this. My Dad is furious with Ray! He WAS NOT raised that way! He knew better!! But he did it,it was wrong and he knows it!

His parents are not involved with the book keeping.

And to clarify...the investigation has only been going on for 2 months. Check the paper work. You will see it's dated 1-1-2008.

Your full of it. I was a victim and deputy lewis, not mike, a very sweet little blond haired girl, was taking my report, and told my husband and i Ray lewis from a.s.a.p and lewis constr. was her brother or brother in law. cant remember cause it was a while ago. i remember this becuase i joked around with her about it cuase there is a lewis construction on a soap opera.

and as far as the metropolitan goes, the coverage they give people is not free, every business spoke about in the mag has paid them for advertising. the entre mag is an ad.

To the person who does NOT believe I'm Ray's sister, you don't know what your talking about and I assure you I am not nor have I ever been a sheriff. For any county. Why in the world would I lie about that?
Ray did wrong and everybody knows it. Him included!

Anonymous said...

Whoever the cute little blonde hair girl was...she was lying to you. Call the sherrifs office and check it out. By the way, I'm married and have been for 17 years and my last is not Lewis anymore.
Oh and by the way our parents only have 2 children. He and I, so there is no sister in law either!

Anonymous said...

THANKS FOR CLARIFING THAT IT ONLY TOOK 2 MONTHS FOR HIM TO STEAL ALL THAT FUEL AND EQUIPMENT! I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE HIS SISTER AND YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO SUPPORT HIM BUT HE STOLE FROM EVERYONE YOU INCLUDED! SOME SAY HE WAS A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN SO WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD HE INVOLVE HISSELF IN THIS? PEOPLE ARE UPSET YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT! IF THE PARENTS WERE NOT INVOLVED SO BE IT BUT PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN OPINIONS. IF HE WOULD GIVE THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK(WHAT SOMEBODY ELSE SAID, IF YOU WERE ONE OF HIS FRIENDS,)I WOULD HATE TO SEE WHAT HE WOULD DO TO HIS ENEMY!

Anonymous said...

i still say you are full of sh*t. Ray and his lawyer would never condone his sister telling tales of family matters on some blog. especially this one that is so frequently viewed by so many people. the cop told me what she told me, unless there is two lewis const. companys, which i am pretty positive there are not. if you are rays sis, you just digging his hole bigger.q

I think you were very unfair to take pictures of his family. Nobody has control of another human being. Whether he is found guilty or not he is still their son. Why don't you leave his family out of it.

i know about the fuel i know about the dumping!iknow the three poeple that picked up the fuel.the only three poeple that are at the top of the company,the boss,the right hand man,and the dad.its been going on longer then anyone thanks.

310 Joe was at the site of the crime reporting for the tax payers of this county and Rays parents showed up there. Don't try to bust Joe for doing right by the tax payers at no cost to us. He is the total opposite of the losers that were ripping all of us off. He is bringing us the truth every day rather you like it or not. Thanks Joe for bringing it to us straight up each and every time.

That was very kind of you, thank you. In response, it's always my pleasure.

as a business owner and home owner in Wicomico County, I pay more than my share of taxes and have to account for EVERY penny I take in. So, what gives these guys the right to do what they did over the past year and basically be "excused" by this so called andy of mayberry commissioner. She should be booted to the curb however, she may have some knowabouts in all of this! I agree, Commissioner Timmons would not have handled it this way. Why are they keeping the other names so quiet and why is the local TV stations keeping this so hush hush....I agree..we will be even more surprised when we hear who else is involved when it all comes out. What a hoot!

956 Maybe someday your child will commit a crime and you can be an innocent bystander who is put on the grill too! I realize that he did wrong and I am also a taxpayer who was wronged, but if his family didn't know anything about it -- this is not fair! That's like going to a fatal accident and taking a picture of the dead body -- find another hobby!

Anonymous said...

No one can play dumb here... NO ONE. Ray Lewis' "business practices" are legendary. Locals have been talking about it for years. It's time to come clean... we all know this current trouble is just the tip of the ice berg. While the details aren't all out yet, one this is certain. This is not some new scheme that just started a year ago, when Ray all of a sudden turned to a life of crime. Not buying that defense one bit! I hope it all comes out... the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

straight up hmm??? yea right. he knows part of the story, they all know just part of the story. you really think that they're gonna tell an @asshole that writes for the paper everything? please. I know mike lewis' family, i went to school with his nephew. and i know people at the paper. you really think they're that stupid to tell everything to someone who's gonna tell everything to everybody? NO. It would never happen. they don't release everything because they KNOW BETTER. and they know that even if they tell them off the record, some part of it, if not all of it will be told here, or somewhere else when it's not supposed to be. get the whole story before you start running your pathetic little mouths. all of you. including the writers.

Ray parents shoulod not be the center of anyones conversation. Their names were not the ones mention in the paper, Ray's was. This man is still a person, weather the law sees it that way of not. Yes the charges are really serious, but im sure that the tv can find something new to talk about insead of Ray every monrning afternoon and night. What about Davis Ruark, a well known name. Where's he blog from him and all the nasty comments about him. Rays not the only person to make or not make a mistake. Maybe some of the focus should be on the people who worked at the landfill etc. But truly if people feel the need to talk about Ray leave the parents out if it, they werent the ones arrested, he was.
