SUMMARY: Attorney Ronald Lewis, 77, has been arrested and charged with smuggling drugs into the Harris County Jail after being found in possession of papers believed to be soaked in drugs. The investigation began after the deaths of two inmates and several others experiencing adverse reactions to drugs in June. Authorities have received information that Lewis has been bringing in papers soaked in K2, PCP, and “Spice” when visiting inmates, for which he was paid $250 to $500 per inmate. This has led to a total of 154 drug-soaked papers being confiscated. The Sheriff’s office is working towards upgrading Lewis’ charges to murder if the drugs that caused the deaths originated from him. Authorities also anticipate more charges for others involved in the smuggling. The jail is implementing measures to prevent prohibited substances from entering, including using drug dogs and making attorneys use jail paper for client communications. Lewis has been released on a $15,000 bond.

Shorten, 53, is charged with bigamy but hasn’t been arrested. Houston police found two marriage licenses but no divorce decree. Tammie, his third wife, separated from him in 2019 but didn’t divorce due to his fear of being seen as a failure. She confronted him after learning of the new wedding plans in December. Despite this, Shorten and his new wife married in January. Bigamy, a rare third-degree felony, can result in up to 10 years in prison.
