Clark was wanted on outstanding warrant from the Concord Police Department for failing to register as a sex offender as required by law, due to a 2009 child pornography conviction.

“After receiving anonymous tips and conducting numerous interviews throughout Concord today, information was developed indicating that Clark was originally living in a tent in Concord, but after seeing himself as the Fugitive of the Week, he went into hiding at an associate’s apartment,” White alleged.

Task force members located Clark “sleeping in an apartment in the 100 block of South State Street” in the city’s South End neighborhood, according to White. He was arrested and held, pending a court appearance.

This arrest was made by the cooperative effort of several members of the task force including the Strafford, Hillsborough, and Rockingham County Sheriff’s Offices, along with deputy U.S. Marshals and the Concord Police Department, White noted.

Clark, who has been homeless for a number of years, and was arrested in March and April 2015 for drug possession, duty to report, and breach of bail. He was arrested in April of last year for felony duty to report. And then, Clark was arrested again for criminal trespass and breach of bail later in April after an alleged incident under the I-393 bridge near the Kimball Jenkins Estate.

The state of New Hampshire noted that he has been convicted of duty to report three times between 2013 and 2016, as well as other charges including controlled drug: acts prohibited, breach of bail, three theft-willful concealment charges, and receiving stolen property, since his child porn conviction.
