Ja’Korrius Marquel Clark, 28 of Rome, was arrested this week after he was found in possession of drugs while trying to hide his identity following a theft.
Police said that in May 2023, Clark deposited a check into his personal account in the amount of $5,217.28, which did not belong to him. He later withdrew the funds before the bank flagged the check as fraudulent.
This week, police located Clark on Burnett Ferry Road. While questioning him, he reportedly gave them a fake name and date of birth to hide his identity.
While being searched, police said that they found Clark in possession of marijuana and a stolen firearm.
Clark is charged with felony theft by deception, possession of marijuana, theft by receiving stolen property, giving false information to police, failure to appear, probation violation and fugitive from justice.
