Resident

charged

in threat

to judge

An Inkster man accused of
making threats against 22nd
District Court Judge Sabrina
Johnson will face several criminal
charges.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym
Worthy has charged Antonio
Walter Clark, 33, of Inkster, with
resisting and obstructing a police
officer, stalking, and malicious use
of telecommunication services.
It is alleged that Clark made
multiple threating phone calls to
Johnson on Nov. 1. An investiga-
tion by the Inkster Police
Department led to the arrest of
Clark on Nov. 3, according to the
office of the prosecutor. Once in
custody, it is alleged that at
approximately 3:05 p.m., the
defendant attempted to flee from
the Inkster Police Department. He
was apprehended by officers a
short time later, according to
police reports.
Clark was arraigned last week
in 29th District Court before Judge
Breeda O'Leary and given a $1
million bond.
