The suspects fled the scene and Clark allegedly approached the woman while she was on the ground, pointed a silver revolver at her and threatened to kill her if she got up.
Clark then fled towards 10th Ave. South and got into a black 4-door sedan, according to the police report.

Clark is charged with two counts each of indecent exposure, armed robbery, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and one count each of escape, violation of electronic monitoring, kidnapping, and first degree burglary.
Clark is held in the J. Reuben Long Detention Center. No bail has been set.
