Lewis’ arrest comes after Giovanni Cotto, who is accused of leading trooper Patrick R. Casey, 31, on the high-speed chase, was charged with attempted murder.

During the pursuit, while firing at the officer, Cotto crashed into a school bus. The car then became engulfed in flames, which spread to the bus.

Casey sustained a non-life threatening wound to the shoulder.
