Charge:
Assault a Government t r r t p l c y e ~ e
Classification: felony-3
Statute:
22.01 Penal Code
In
the name and
by
the authority of the State of Texas:
David Biggar, do solemnly swear that
t
have good reason to believe and do believe that,
Jacob
Barry
Lewis on or about the 14th day of,
January
2015, and
before
the making and
filing of this
complaint, in Bowie Countyt
Texas did then and there: intentionally. knowingly, or
recklessly cause
bodily
injury to Brian Jones by stabbing him in the face with an ink
pen,
and
the defendant did then and there know that the
said
Brian Jones was then and there an
employee of LaSalle
Corrections. a person who had contracted with government to
perform a
service in BiState Jail, to-wit: Correctional Officert and that
the said Brian Jones was then
and there performing said service, and the defendant knew that
the said Brian Jones was
authorized
by government
to
provide the service.
Against the peace and dignity of the State
Affiant's belief is based upon the following:
On 01
14-15 LaSatre Corrections Captain Brian Jones reported that he
had been stabbed
in the face by inmate Jacob Barry Lewis WIM 07-27-92). Captain
Jones explained that he
was sitting behind the front desk just prior to a session of
jail court when Lewis stabbed him
just below his left
eye
with an ink pen. Jail footage of the assault and activity prior
to and after
the assault was burned to a CD and placed into property as
evidence (item 1). The blue ink
pen was also placed into property
as
evidence (item 2). Captain Jones was wearing a
LaSalle Corrections uniform when he was assaulted.
Written statements were made by several witnesses to include Kim
Watson from Bowie
County PR Bonds.
In
her statement Watson advised Lewis was brought
in
to the court room
for his magistrate warning at which time she gave him paperwork
to fill out to apply for a
Public Defender. When Watson told Lewis to sit down, he began to
complain that
he
needed
to urinate. Watson told him that
he
would have to wait. Lewis cussed Watson and exited the
courtroom
and
walked to the desk at zone
one.
Watson saw Lewis rummaging through the
desk and called Captain Jones who responded with Sergeant Ivan
Mendoza and spoke to
Lewis.
lieutenant Guy Wheat stated that Capt. Jones told Lewis that he
would be placed in
lockdown after court for his
actions.

Jail footage
shows
Lewis
leave the courtroom and
then urinate in
two
cups
that
he had
obtained from behind the desk
in
Zone 1. Lewis is then escorted back into the courtroom
where he resumes filling out his paperwork. At 8:07:56 Lewis can
be seen as he stands and
approaches the desk where Captain Jones Kim a t s o n ~ and
Lance
HaU
are seated. Lewis
leaped across the desk
and
stabbed Captain Jones
in
the face
with
the
pen.
Officer James
Combs
then tackted
and
subdued
Lewis
at the door as he attempted
to
flee the court room.
I believe that probable cause exists in this
case
for the arrest of Jacob Barry Lewis for the
charge of Assault on a Government Contract Employee and I
request a warrant be issued for
him.
