A Manhattan couple is accused of forging multiple positive COVID-19 test results in order to delay a trial in which the husband faced drug charges, a Long Island district attorney said.
In Sept. 2020, Devon Lewis faced multiple charges regarding the sale and possession of cocaine and heroin, Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini said. Right before closing arguments in the case were set to begin, the 35-year-old Lewis provided a photo purporting to show that Blair McDermott had tested positive for the coronavirus.
The following month, Lewis told the court that he and McDermott were in quarantine in their Manhattan home, and his attorney shared a photo that McDermott tested positive again on Oct. 8, the district attorney's office said. After eventually showing a negative test for McDermott, the trial resumed in November and Lewis was convicted on 12 felony narcotics charges.
