More trouble for local musician

Local musician and operator of Chico School of Rock Breazid “Sid” Lewis is back in the news. According to a press release from the Butte County Sheriff’s Office, Lewis was arrested Feb. 18 on a warrant for allegedly masturbating in front of a 17-year-old girl, who was a former student at the School of Rock and was getting paid to do house work for him.

While doing some house work, the press release says, the girl looked up and saw “Lewis masturbating and staring at her. The victim looked away and when she looked back, he was still masturbating, clearly visible.”

One year ago, Lewis was arrested on charges of corporal injury to a spouse and assault with a firearm. He’s pleaded not guilty to both charges and is set to go to trial May 5.
