HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA, PRISONER JAMIE CLARK has had his probation suspended and he is back “inside” with no bail available. Firegeezer last reported on the McDonough City’s risky decision to take the former jail trusty on as a volunteer firefighter while allowing him daily freedom to perform janitorial work at city offices, including the fire and police stations.
Unfortunately, nobody thought to run a background check (on a prisoner!) where they would have found out that his lengthy criminal record included convictions for arson. For the background to this story, see our report on this unusual situation back on November 5 HERE. His freedom to roam the city ended when he was arrested and charged with breaking into the police department storage rooms and stealing several guns and drugs that were being held as evidence in other cases. Investigators found some of the stolen guns in Clark’s room and they also say that they have a videotaped confession to the break-in, a charge that he denies on tv interviews.
Recently Clark was arraigned on the burglary and theft charges and his probation was suspended, effectively putting him back in jail without bond until his next trial begins.
