Brink's Robbery
On October 20, 1981, a Brink's armored truck was robbed by six men in Nyack, New York. During the robbery, Peter Paige, a Brink's guard, was killed. As the men escaped from the robbery, the van into which they had switched was stopped by a police barricade and two officers, Waverly Brown and Edward O'Grady, were killed during the gun battle that ensued. Clark was the driver of a nearby getaway car, into which one of the robbers and David Gilbert jumped after the gun battle. After a car chase, Clark was arrested. Also arrested at the scene was Kathy Boudin, who served 22 years in prison and has been released on parole.
