Wife of police chief indicted for felony misappropriation
By Marthe Stinton, mstinton@starlocalnews.com
As residents of The Colony are awakening from food comas and children are finally putting down the toys, news of an indictment of a wife of a high profile figure is swirling through the city.
Kelly Dee Clark, 48 and the wife of Police Chief Joe Clark, has been indicted by a grand jury and charged with misappropriation of funds -- a first-degree felony punishable by up to life in prison.
Clark was a finance executive at Star Insurance Service. The company's owner, Alan Robinson, has also been indicted on the same charge, as has Steven Thomas, who is the president and secretary of Star Premium Finance.

Both companies that are associated with the charges and are no longer in existence.
The city is taking no action at this time, City Manager Troy Powell said in an email.
"We're aware but since its not a city employee that has been charged we have no formal comment other than we're aware of the situation and will monitor it as it goes forward," he said.
Chief Clark could not be reached for comment.

" Really Jack? So you are ready to sentence for life with just an indictment? Do you understand the legal process at all? You just publically wished this woman to be denied her due process.. How can you be so willing to sentence someone who has not been convicted? I read the article, nothing in it insinuates she benefited financially at all, yet you stand and call her greedy. You call for zero tolerance of someone who has not yet had an opportunity to defend herself at trial.. is that a right you yourself are willing to give up? How about your right to free speech, keep and bear arms, or vote? Do you have an issue with American Jurisprudenceas a whole, or do you just have a personal axe to grind with Mrs. Clark? "
