Captain Jack Sparrow-Dressed Poker Player Arrested in Violent Attack

Scotter Clark, a prominent Iowa poker player who became known for his fun-loving personality and the fact that he would show up at live game events wearing a Jack Sparrow costume, is now accused of stabbing a man in the head and chest.

He supposedly topped that by running over a woman with his pickup truck. Clark supposedly approached the victim – the woman in this case – in a parking lot in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and tried to solicit sexual services. The man, who was with the woman at the time, stepped forward and reportedly asked Clark to back down.

At that point, Clark pulled out a knife. Following the horrifying brawl, which left both victims hospitalized, police interviewed witnesses, with one person confirming that he had Clark’s blue pickup truck license plate. It didn’t take long for police to find and arrest him. Luckily, neither of the two people has suffered too severely and will be making a full recovery.

However, Clark has denied the allegation against him as bogus. He insisted that there had indeed been an altercation, but that only came after someone tried to break into his truck.

Clark, the Poker Pro Who Is a Skilled Poker Hand

While the above incident and the facts around it are about to be examined in full and the truth determined, Clark’s poker track record is a little easier to pinpoint. The man has been playing in some of the biggest poker tournaments, and he has amassed more than $500,000 in gross poker live earnings since 2015, when he turned professional, as he served a prison sentence before that.

However, Clark is banned from Caesars properties, which means that he won’t be able to attend the World Series of Poker, which is hosted at the company’s properties. The reason? He brought a pair of prop guns that were meant to complete his Jack Sparrow attire, but Caesar’s security would not have it.

But dig a little deeper into his past, and the man spent nearly 15 years behind bars because of drug trafficking and money laundering. Clark supposedly had ties to New York’s Lucchese Crime Family.

Ultimately, Clark now will have to prove his innocence, with prosecutors and investigators continuing to gather evidence and try to understand if the man really lashed out at unsuspecting victims or if he was indeed protecting private property.
