Pistol-Whipping Suspect Caught

At 2:40 p.m. today, members of the North Idaho Violent Crimes Task Force (NIVCTF) and Bonner County Sheriff’s Office captured fugitive Terry Andrew Clark at a residence just south of Coolin, near Priest Lake. Clark is wanted in the pistol-whipping attack of four people at a party in Athol earlier this week. Story here. No one was injured during Clark’s capture. Over the past 48 hours, Kootenai County Sheriff’s detectives had developed information from a variety of sources that Clark may have been hiding from law enforcement with a family member.  KCSO detectives who are members of NIVCTF were asked to bring the task force’s multi-jurisdictional authority to this search which led from Coeur d’Alene to Newport and ended in the Priest Lake area.
