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.

Famous quotes containing the word brink:
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
