Clarke’s death came weeks after he was arrested in Cross County, Arkansas, following an alleged high-speed chase. An arrest affidavit said a deputy saw Clarke’s white Corvette pass at more than 100 mph before deputies pursued him. Authorities said he did not stop until a second deputy joined the chase. He was later charged with fleeing, speeding, improper passing, trafficking a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.
