Frank Clark Arrested On Domestic Violence Charge
No details yet as this apparently just happened but the Erie County jail's website has a log of all arrests and Frank Clark is on there:
If you are for some reason dubious that this guy who looks just like Frank Clark is Frank Clark, his DOB matches that on Frank Clark's MGoBlue bio.
When it rains it pours.

Mentor is not right next to Glenville.
November 16th, 2014 at 12:48 PM ^
Your right they are a ten minutie trip on the freeway away. I might have exaggerated a bit, but I defenitly know people that are two towns away from where I live. If you look at other points in this thread you would learn 3 people on this night all living within proximity to where Clark went to highschool at got arrested including Clark. I'm not Shearlock freaking Holmes but I bet all three know each other. So while you can't throw a stone from glenville highschool and have it land in mentor. They are close enough that three people from the same general area could be in Sandusky at the same time and they all might know each other.

I would not want to be a fly on the wall when Hoke and Mattison got the news. Who is behind Frank Clark on the depth chart?
November 16th, 2014 at 9:33 AM ^
Mario Ojemudia.
November 17th, 2014 at 8:23 AM ^
I feel he is more talented.
November 16th, 2014 at 9:14 AM ^
people so dumb?
November 16th, 2014 at 10:34 AM ^
Hopefully, you intend to include about 90% of people posting in this thread.
November 16th, 2014 at 9:14 AM ^
Fuck you 2014
November 16th, 2014 at 9:35 AM ^
It's not 2014. It's the Football program.
Which has become a joke, coached by a Joke.
November 16th, 2014 at 9:51 AM ^
No, it's college-aged people getting into some type of legal situation that leads to police being called.
November 16th, 2014 at 10:01 AM ^
It would be one thing if this was the first time. This is the second time Clark has been arrested. Let's see here.
Stonum, Toussaint, Clark, Lewan, Glasgow, Gibbons "family issues" PR fiasco, Clark again.
Almost as many player arrests as road victories under Hoke!
November 16th, 2014 at 10:11 AM ^
Well, Gibbons transpired before Hoke even showed up, so that's irrelevant. And the PR fiasco is as much on the AD as anyone on the team.
And yes, over 4 years Michigan had in excess of 7 players arrested or punished in some way (you forgot York and Campbell). That's out off, I'm ballparking, 200 scholarship athletes on the football team during that time. Some of these were serious - York, Stonum, Lewan were varying levels of dangerous transgressions - but others were, honestly, coIlege kid stuff - drinking offenses mostly, but the type of stuff that happens all the time to kids in college but because they aren't really "important" they never get posted on a blog.
And I'm not trying to be condescending, but this stuff happened under Carr, under Moeller, under everybody. Players got into bar fights, got caught with drugs, had "incidents" with women, etc. I'm not condoning it, but we are talking about human beings, and acting like football players (or athletes in general) should be "above" their fellow human beings is silly and naive. Michigan and Hoke have run a clean ship, but they aren't perfect. Nobody is. Show me a program that is.
November 16th, 2014 at 10:14 AM ^
You have no clue WTF happened. No clue. But by all means, keep spouting off, it's what you do best.
November 16th, 2014 at 10:15 AM ^
Keep pissing and moaning about my posts, it's what you do best.
November 16th, 2014 at 12:34 PM ^
Little known fact.
November 17th, 2014 at 8:22 AM ^
I have been reading all the posts and you most of you guys have failed to realize that a guy made a fucking mistake. Yeah he hit is girlfriend and that is wrong, but we don't know the whole story yet. It SEEMS that Clark was drunk and beat on his girlfriend, but we have to realize this is not just a problem with our team and Clark. This is a football problem. There are many more domestic violence cases from football players than from the other major sports (I remember hearing it on the news so it may not be true I didn't fact check). We need to understand that Clark came from a violent past and it is hard to leave your past behind you. We all no that it is not excuse, but we must also understand that he is still only 21. People make mistakes, he ultimately might have screwed up big time. You guys though are fighting like this guy is the worst person on the earth there is no reason to disown one of our own like that. Even if Frank did do it, I am still with him trying to help him, but will have to punish him on the feild.
November 16th, 2014 at 10:35 AM ^
We get it, you think Hoke is a moron. Enough.
November 16th, 2014 at 10:41 AM ^
...you do realize Hoke recruited zero of these guys, right? (Not trying to say anything about Coach Rod here.) Oh, not to mention that he's not responsible for the actions of these guys?
November 16th, 2014 at 11:42 AM ^
but it's still a good point.
November 16th, 2014 at 1:51 PM ^
Swap out Hoke for Urban Meyer. Been defending that for years.

Can't we just tally up all charges and convictions of the football program during Hoke, RR, Carr? Then run a regression, control for number of years coaching, etc. That must all be public information. Or in binders...
November 16th, 2014 at 10:43 AM ^
Let me be blunt, you have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe when you get to 10th grade you'll see not every small act by an individual means that the organization is a "joke".
November 16th, 2014 at 10:57 AM ^
Yeah, you're definitely new around here.
November 16th, 2014 at 11:13 AM ^
Congrats.
November 16th, 2014 at 11:20 AM ^
Stop posting pictures of yourself, your room and your gear. It's fucking dumb.
November 16th, 2014 at 4:18 PM ^
you people are awful. No wonder the MMB was banned from posting on this site.
November 16th, 2014 at 12:06 PM ^
Oh jebus people, he's got a HS graduation picture! He means business!
Seriously, you got some positive karma from that email situation, but you are absolutely pissing it away with dumb shit like this.
November 16th, 2014 at 9:19 AM ^
Clark is done at Michigan. This could really hurt his NFL stock too now with their focus on DV, he's already got a strike now, who's going to draft a player that is one temper tantrum away from a lifetime ban?
I've always been ashamed of his whopping 1 game ban for a felony.
November 16th, 2014 at 9:43 AM ^
Sure, after he was found with it, but it was returned, and he paid the owner an amount equal to the value of the laptop.
Not OK sure, but not the end of the world either - and (according to Angelique) he appeared to have learned his lesson until now.
November 16th, 2014 at 9:23 AM ^
Is this what it feels like to lose on a bye week?
November 16th, 2014 at 9:27 AM ^
I'm confused by the reactions of "How could he do this now, before the draft/graduation/OSU game/etc?" As if there are more and less sensible times to commit domestic violence.
I'm not going to jump to any conclusions of what he did or didn't do for the moment. But if he is the type to hurt someone outside of a self-defense situation, then I don't think anyone should be surprised by something like timing. Irrational violent acts don't tend to follow the calendar, and violent criminals aren't typically known for their good judgment.
November 16th, 2014 at 9:31 AM ^
I worki n child support enforcement in Grand RAPIDS, and see domestic violence on a daily basis. I also use Vinelink when verifying whether or not an individual is incarcerated in a specific jail/prison. VINELINK shows that Mr. Clark is still listed as being incarcerated at the Erie County jail in Ohio. I checked this out approx 9:22 a.m. 9/16/14.
Another black eye for Michigan Football. Could Hoke be held responsible for this action? I don't think so, but how he handles Mr Clark after his release from jail, might carry some weight.
I will refrain from further comment, until all the facts are out on the table.

Based on the way Hoke has reacted in past criminal incidents (Glasgow, Toussaint, Furman, etc.), I don't think his reaction to this will be a black mark on Hoke's record.
November 16th, 2014 at 9:43 AM ^
Buh-bye, Frank.
November 16th, 2014 at 9:49 AM ^
Frank seem like such a nice guy after speaking to him after game day last month
I really thought he would be back in business
November 16th, 2014 at 9:51 AM ^
Well at least this season has been consistent. There has been some sort of crappy news/performance every week. Why should the bye week have been any different?

got very, very worser!
November 16th, 2014 at 10:09 AM ^
Always waiting until next year. Sigh

Move Jake Ryan to DE and bring Ross into the middle.

A little insight into Michigan misdemeanors for DV. Not sure if Ohio works the same or not. I have already had a call this morning from a police department which I handle prosecution for. Guy goes to jail last night for Domestic Violence because of a call made for a domestic disturbance. They have to take someone into custody to diffuse the situation. Girl in morning doesn't want to pursue charges, so guy is released from jail with no charges issued because you aren't going to proceed with a case with no cooperation from victim, unless their are significant injuries. Of course we don't know any facts at this time, but I would say it isn't a slam dunk he is charged at this time.
November 17th, 2014 at 6:54 AM ^
Disregard my above post as we have seen that the law in Ohio or at least this county in Ohio requires the alleged defendant to see the Judge and be held without bond. Although hearing the supposed details which had surfaced this far, charging is the right move. Injuries and witnesses can allow a case to proceed even without victim cooperation.
November 16th, 2014 at 10:31 AM ^
If only the captains were better leaders. Oh, wait...
November 16th, 2014 at 10:34 AM ^
But how's this different then the Jameis Winston rape case? Domestic violence isn't as serious of a charge as rape yet we all say bye-bye? We don't know what happened at all, what happened to innocent until proven guilty? Along with the Jameis case, he got caught stealing crab legs, frank stole the laptop. I don't understand why Frank gets in trouble twice and is gone but Winston can run rapid without much consequence.
November 16th, 2014 at 10:39 AM ^
Clark is freshly off probation for a felony. I'm sorry, but he should know by now not to as much as put himself in the position to get in trouble again. Common sense, leadership, integrity, responsibility, etc etc etc.
