AUTHORITIES WANT TO QUESTION A POSSIBLE CON ARTIST
Police say he told everyone he was in charge of the I-40 bridge collapse just moments after the disaster. Now the alleged imposter shows up in Arkansas.
Searcy police say 36-year old William Clark of southeast Missouri entered the Truman Baker Dodge dealership on may 29th wearing army fatigues and a beret.
Clark told the dealership he was a captain in the US Army Special Forces and wanted to borrow a truck to haul supplies to Oklahoma.
After showing the salesmen a video of the bridge collapse they tossed him the keys to a 1997 red Dodge pickup.
The FBI wants to question Clark for allegedly impersonating a military officer. Police also say Clark rented several motel rooms in Van Buren and didn't pay for them.
Police say Clark was supposed to turn the truck in this week. He did not.
Ricso, Missouri police chief Jim Vice says Clark has a unique history in his city. He didn't want to comment on Clark's mental state, but says Clark has impersonated officers in his city before and once managed to have himself declared dead.
