Hearing was held on 3/16. Lewark was granted a $20,000 bail and can be released with an electronic monitoring device once he posts bond.
Lewark is a stay at home dad with three children. When the dogs were slaughtered by Lewark the statement by the girlfriend says she was inside with the children while Lewark was outside with the dogs.
There are concerns for the children when Lewark is released. He stated in his post miranda statement that he killed the dogs because he lost his temper. In the Initial Appearance (video available on Lewark page) Lewark stated he "had reasons" for committing arson at age 13. Arson and cruelty to animals fit in the profile of people who end up being violent to people.
