Lewis and some other people left the house to buy a quarter-ounce of marijuana for Herres and some of his friends, Lorenz said.<\/p>\n
When Lewis handed over the marijuana, Lorenz said, a person in Herres’ group accused Lewis of taking some of the marijuana for himself.<\/p>\n
Herres is believed to have intervened in the argument, Lorenz said, and Lewis drew a 5-inch pocket knife and stabbed Herres once in the abdomen.<\/p>\n
Herres was airlifted to Advocate Condell Hospital in Libertyville, where he died following surgery.<\/p>\n
Lewis, who remained at the scene while others called police, was taken into custody by Lake County sheriff’s deputies.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Lewis told Associate Judge Christopher Stride he is a construction worker who has been unemployed since before Christmas.<\/p>\n
Stride appointed the county public defender’s office to represent Lewis and ordered him to appear in court again March 10.<\/p>\n
Herres was a swimming instructor and lifeguard at Central Lake YMCA in Vernon Hills and also was a student at Libertyville High School.<\/p>\n
