Maj. Gen. Ronald F. Lewis is alleged to have consumed alcohol to excess after-hours at the Candy Bar in Seoul and the Cica Cica Boom bar in Rome, running up nearly $3,000 on his government credit card. Lewis was fired from his position last November when allegations of misconduct first surfaced, but he remains in the Army. When investigators showed him the credit card charges, including an 81% tip, Lewis denied being at the Candy Bar and called Citibank to have them removed. He said a woman from the club then went with him to his hotel at 1:40 a.m. to get his government-issued credit card from an unnamed female subordinate. “I left [the club] with a big bill and they wanted to make sure I came back and paid it,” Lewis told investigators.
