EMPHASIS: Former Missouri Juvenile Officer Arrested for Forgery





Captain Ron Replogle, Director of the Division of Drug and Crime Control (DDCC), announces as a result of a 4-month criminal investigation, members of the Troop-H Criminal Investigations Unit, arrested Jeffery Spencer Clark, age 33, of Cameron, Missouri, today for 2 counts of Forgery and 4 counts of Felony Stealing.



Clark was arrested in Clinton County at approximately 12:30 p.m. and is currently being held on $60,000.00 bond in the Clinton County Jail. Clark is the former Missouri Juvenile Officer for Clinton County and these allegations stem from theft of the Victims Restitution Funds that he controlled while employed as the Juvenile Officer.



The above charges are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
