Suspect in Williams Case Asks for Dismissal of Drug Charges

Willie DeWayne Clark, pictured right, is a member of the Denver-area gang The Elite Eight, who police suspect are responsible for the murder of Darrent Williams over one year ago. Not only does this man know who killed Darrent Williams, but he’s now using that case to attempt to get his current drug charges dropped.

In documents filed last Wednesday by his attorney, Mr. Clark claims that the prosecutors for his drug case have prejudiced the grand jury against him when they presented evidence surrounding the Williams murder.

Prosecutors claim Clark is a gang member who worked with a violent group, the Elite Eight. The group is connected to up to 11 unsolved murders, including Williams’ New Years Day 2007 killing, authorities have said. …

… “Hicks was contemplating that if he wasn’t in jail, that a lot of this stuff wouldn’t have happened . . . and that he wouldn’t allow the associates or the members of his organization, the Elite 8, to go to the bars and get in trouble,” Fuller told the grand jury, according to a transcript made public Wednesday.

During the same conversation, Hicks asked his girlfriend to send someone to visit Clark so he would feel loved and not start talking to police, Tafoya-Modi said.

Clark has been held without bond since July 2007 on federal drug charges. Sources indicate he was in the Chevy Tahoe in the early morning hours of January 1, 2007, from which the shots were fired that killed Darrent Williams.

Williams was 24 years old.

Will the injustice never end? This man is honestly using DWill’s death, which he likely caused, to try and get off drug charges.  I hope he burns in hell.
