Via Fox Baltimore:

Police say the incident happened on Jan. 23 at an apartment on Technology Boulevard. The warrant says Lewis engaged in sexual battery with the woman while she was mentally incapacitated and/or physically helpless from the use of drugs and/or alcohol.

On Jan. 23, police responded to Grand Strand Hospital for a report of a sexual assault. A rape kit was performed, according to the police report.

After compiling medical reports from the hospital, victim statements, witness statements and lab results, the case was presented to the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office for review.

After review, police were directed to get an arrest warrant for Lewis, according to the police report.

Lewis turned himself into police on Friday, April 29.

Lewis announced plans to transfer to Coastal Carolina University in January of 2015 and played cornerback on the CCU football team.

Martha Hunn, a spokeswoman for CCU, says Lewis has been suspended from the football team and the university is currently conducting an administrative investigation.

CCU issued a statement saying Lewis has been suspended indefinitely.

Once CCU became aware of an incident, the University immediately began facilitating the administrative investigation, which includes requests to Conway Police Department for the police report and other information pertaining to this case. The University obtained the arrest warrant today.

Immediately upon arrest, Ray Lewis III was suspended indefinitely from the football team. The University continues its administrative investigation process.

I will keep you posted on this story as more details become available.

Just three days ago, Ray III took to his Instagram page and shared a message about trusting your inner voice and walking away from bad vibes.

Give yourself permission to immediately walk away from anything that gives you bad vibes. There’s no need to explain or make sense of it. Just trust the little inner voice when it’s telling you.
