Police are still searching for the Massachusetts man accused of raping a child and seriously assaulting a family member last month, and authorities say he also kidnapped and assaulted a woman in North Carolina before stopping in Connecticut.
Gregory Lewis, 26, of Southbridge, Massachusetts, is wanted on multiple felony counts for repeatedly raping a child, according to police. Lewis is considered armed and dangerous and is believed to be carrying a 9mm handgun, baton and handcuffs.
Police said he has made suicidal threats and has threatened to harm others.
He has been on the run since he cut off his GPS monitoring bracelet Sept. 15. He was spotted in Kentucky and made a stop in Vernon, Connecticut, after assaulting a family member and leaving the house with a gun on Sept. 25, police said.
Lewis is wanted in Massachusetts and is also facing charges in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he’s accused of kidnapping, robbing and assaulting a woman on Sept. 23, just prior to returning home to Southbridge, according to police.
Police said Lewis stands 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 270 pounds. He has brown eyes and brown hair.
He’s believed to be driving a blue 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Massachusetts license plates 85GF63, but police said he may have covered or swapped out the plates to avoid recognition.
