Jerry Lee Lewis could blow up if a court-appointed trustee tries to inspect the rock ‘n’ roll pioneer’s Mississippi home for a bankruptcy court, says his lawyer, Norman Hagemeyer. The attorney said inspection requests haven’t been honored because Lewis “may not be able to control” himself if trustee George W. Emerson shows up at his home. “You need to tell Mr. Lewis that I’m the bad guy, if anybody’s the bad guy,” U.S. Bankruptcy Judge William Houston Brown said Tuesday in ordering the star to cooperate with officials. “Mr. Lewis needs to understand that this court is serious about saying that Mr. Lewis doesn’t get special treatment.” Lewis filed under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in November to resolve his reported $3 million in debts. He claims his personal and household items are worth about $5,000.
