New charge sends Army faker back to prison

MUSKOGEE, Okla. — A man who went to prison for impersonating an Army captain after the 2002 Interstate 40 bridge collapse is heading back to prison.

A federal jury in Muskogee found that William James Clark violated the terms of his probation by calling the Russian Embassy and claiming to be part of a covert military operation to assassinate President Vladimir Putin.

U.S. District Judge James Payne sentenced Clark last week to 21 more months in prison.

In May 2002, Clark spent nearly three days pretending to be an Army captain in charge of the recovery effort after the I-40 bridge collapse at Webbers Falls, Okla. He was sentenced to nearly six years in prison and was released from a halfway house last September.
