United States v. Clark, No. 12-2627 (7th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseClark committed six armed bank robberies in the Milwaukee area in 2008-2010. On October 8, 2010, Milwaukee police officers who knew that Clark was wanted attempted to pull him over. He fled and was apprehended after a two-mile vehicle chase. Four days later, he was charged in state court with the state felony of eluding an officer. That same day, federal authorities brought armed robbery charges against him in federal court for the last bank robbery, on August 18, 2010. A magistrate issued a warrant for Clark’s arrest. The FBI used that warrant to file a detainer with the Milwaukee Sheriff, who was holding Clark, who was convicted of the state offense and sentenced to seven months in jail on November 23, 2010. While he was incarcerated for that crime, a federal grand jury returned a 12-count indictment on February 8, 2011, charging him with armed bank robbery (18 U.S.C. 2213(a) and (d)), and using a firearm in furtherance of an armed bank robbery (18 U.S.C. 924(c)(1)(A)(ii)). He was arraigned on February 25 and convicted on all counts and sentenced to an aggregate of 1,951 months in prison. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, rejecting claims of violations of the Speedy Trial Act and the Interstate Agreement on Detainers.
