Okay - finally found some court docs on him!! This is for his forgery stuff - I thought that was dismissed? But no where on this page does it say it WAS dismissed & it has court dates for this charge.

Criminal Court Case Information - Case History
Thank you so much, Niner: Great work here!
Looking at the case information and some of the past articles, I do not believe that the identity theft and forgery charges against Clark were ever dismissed.
From one of the articles reporting that Clark was set to be released from jail:
“‘’The County Attorney's Office has requested additional information from law enforcement to make a determination’ on what formal charges will or will not be brought, said Rebecca Wilder, Maricopa County Attorney's Office spokeswoman.
‘
The charges are under review,’ Wilder said.
In Clark's court appearance Friday, the court commissioner ordered him to be released, Maricopa County Superior Court spokesman Bryan Bouchard confirmed. He said a probation revocation hearing for Clark was vacated because no petition to revoke was filed.
‘
As far as charges being dropped or levied, that's the County Attorney's determination, not the court,’ Bouchard said.”

Instead, it appears that unbeknownst to the public, the County Attorney had already taken the case to a grand jury by that point, and the jurors decided the prosecution presented enough evidence against Clark and he should be indicted on the three charges listed under “Disposition Information”: Hence the following entries under “Case Documents” (GJ: Grand Jury):
“8/29/2018 ROC– Release Order/Order Regarding Counsel - Party (001)” [I would like to know whether the judge ordered Clark to be released on these particular charges; regardless, he will remain in custody due to the probation violation]”
[SBM]
“8/27/2018 IND -
Indictment - Party (001)”
“8/27/2018 604 - ME:
GJ True Bill/Warrant Issue - Party (001)” (BBM)
This further indicates to me that the authorities are doing everything they can to keep Clark in custody.
Looking forward to the arraignment hearing on Tuesday.
By the way, I didn’t realize until now that it was “a 2018 theft arrest from when he was living in California” that Clark was on probation for.
