"He's basically leaving me messages saying, 'Catch me if you can.'""You are hoping that somebody that's close by would recognize me or something?" a voice apparently belonging to Lewis said in a phone message. "Did you ever figure out what my name was?"Police did not say what information led them to Lewis.He faces grand theft and fraud related charges in Kissimmee.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
