The War on Drugs goes on. And on. And on.
A man with nine felony convictions — who Duluth police arrested less than a month ago on drug charges only to see him bail out of jail — was again arrested and arraigned on new drug charges on Friday.
Andrew Wayne Clarke, 45, of Minneapolis, who according to court records is also known as "Bloodclot," appeared in State District Court on three charges in connection with the possession and sale of cocaine and heroin. He was also charged with obstructing legal process.
Clarke is now being held in the St. Louis County Jail on $150,000 bail.
Duluth police obtained a search warrant for Clarke after receiving information that he continued to deal drugs after bailing out of the St. Louis County Jail on Sept. 27. Police detained Clarke and took him to police headquarters at 11:35 p.m. Tuesday.
Officers found a baggie between the defendant's buttocks that contained 10 individually wrapped pieces of an off-white, rock-like substance that field-tested positive for cocaine, police said. They said inside the baggie was a paper bindle that contained an off-white powdery substance that tested positive for the presence of heroin and that Clarke had $441 in cash.
According to the complaint, Clarke was uncooperative and struggled with four officers conducting the search. A Taser was needed to subdue the defendant.
On Sept. 12, Clarke was arrested in the 500 block of West Superior Street by investigators from the Lake Superior Drug and Violent Crime Task Force with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. He possessed heroin and was charged with two counts of second-degree possession of a controlled substance.
He also had two outstanding St. Louis County warrants for controlled substance crimes, police said. He then bailed out of jail.
According to Duluth police, Clarke has the following felony convictions: uttering a forged check, second-degree burglary, offering a forged check, two convictions for first-degree controlled substance crimes, fourth-degree assault, two convictions for fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance, identity theft and theft from a person.
