Attorney Hiram Lewis IV of West Virginia; Certified Nutcase The state of West Virginia presented Hiram Carson Lewis IV with a law license in 2001.
Hiram was a former candidate for the office of West Virginia Attorney General and Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate.
In the recent past, Hiram allowed a hobo (rumored to be a disbarred lawyer), Stephen Bogart to sleep on his porch provided he would cook and clean for him.
On or about June 16, 2012, Hiram was arrested for shooting the hobo and was charged with malicious wounding and wanton endangerment. His bail was set at $70,000.
It was reported that Lewis invited Bogart, who was formerly in the U.S. Army to sleep on his porch after he found him wondering on the side of the road.
“I called him Sergeant Major out of respect,” said Lewis. Lewis further said, “I nicknamed him Sgt. Hoo-rah. I created a charitable foundation for him called Sgt. Major Hoo-rah’s charitable trust.”
In a lame effort to cement his status as the epitome of charity, Lewis purchased alcohol for Bogart; however, with the provision that get up at 6:00 am and help him cook and clean the house.
“He is a great chef. He can cook the best pork chops you can imagine and potato salad,” Bogie said. “We made up dishes and took pictures of them and were going to put them on our menu and sell his cooking for July 4th picnics.”
Bogie defended his lifestyle and vowed to “spread the word of God” and do charitable works if he is released from jail.
“If I can get out and keep my bar license, I have a case I’m supposed to be settling,” Bogie said. “That would give me the money to get the kayaks and get back to my camp paradise to where I could have kayakers for Christ every Sunday.” (Lawyer’s Weekly)
As we speak (June 2012) Hiram practices his brand of law at 416 Holland Avenue in Morgantown, West Virginia. However, the West Virginia State Bar has opened an investigation of Hiram’s conduct which could result in him being disbarred.
The Bar may well disbar him if he’s criminally convicted; however, if he’s not, they should recommend that he receive an appointment as a Circuit Court Judge. Hear tell the West Virginia judiciary is always looking for another qualified Screwball!
