FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) - Fairbanks police say a convicted con artist with a history of impersonating Army officers has been arrested in Deadhorse. William Clark was cited for trespassing earlier this week and let go. Police learned later that the 37-year-old has outstanding warrants in other states. The authorities found Clark at a Deadhorse hotel Friday after getting a tip from a hunter. He is expected to be returned to Fairbanks in a few days.

Back in 2002, Clark identified himself as an Army captain at the scene of a fatal bridge accident in Oklahoma. He spent more than two days giving orders to FBI agents before his con was discovered. Shortly after leaving prison for that ruse, he called a Russian embassy claiming to be part of a U.S. Special Forces squad planning to assassinate Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
