Remember Mike Huckabee was responsible for 4 dead Lakewood police officers
Maurice Clemmons, the 37-year-old Tacoma man being sought for questioning in the killing this morning of four Lakewood police officers, has a long criminal record punctuated by violence, erratic behavior and concerns about his mental health.
Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protests of prosecutors.
This is the day Ive been dreading for a long time, Larry Jegley, prosecuting attorney for Arkansas Pulaski County said tonight when informed that Clemmons was being sought for questioning in connection with the killings.
Clemmons criminal history includes at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington. The record also stands out for the number of times he has been released from custody despite questions about the danger he posed.
