Former Fresno City College quarterback Emmanuel Lewis will appear again in court March 19 for a preliminary hearing on drug charges.
A Fresno County Superior Court judge on Feb. 26 gave Lewis’ attorney a second time extension to prepare the former football star’s defense.
Judge Jonathan R. Conklin gave Lewis a general time waiver, ordering Lewis to appear again “for pre-prelim and prelim setting as appropriate.”
Lewis agreed to maintain the general time waiver, giving the court additional time to proceed with the trial without a dismissal.
Lewis’ attorney David Washington told The Rampage on Feb. 26 that he did not have a statement to make and said that his client would not be available for immediate comment.
Lewis’ preliminary hearing has been postponed twice. Feb. 4 was the original date.
Police arrested Lewis on Dec. 10, 2009, after a four-month investigation. Police said Lewis was involved in the possession and solicitation of illegal drugs.
