PITTSBURGH -- Former Pittsburgh news anchor, Donald Clark, who worked under the name of Don Cannon, was arrested in California Tuesday night.
Clark, 69, was wanted on bench warrants for failure to report for sentence on two separate driving under the influence cases. Both of these cases occurred in late 2007 and Clark had pleaded guilty in both cases, according to police.
Sometime after his guilty plea, Clark had moved to Carlsbad, Calif. He was supposed to report to start serving his sentence on or around Oct. 21, 2009 and failed to do so. Subsequently, two bench warrants were issued for his arrest.
Tuesday night, sheriff's deputies made contact with police in Carlsbad and provided them with an address for Clark and asked for their assistance in apprehending him.
When deputies spoke to these officers, they learned that one the officers they were speaking with had arrested Clark there recently on another DUI and was in court with Clark earlier that day, according to police.
After making several attempts at Clark's residence in Carlsbad, police were able to apprehend him without incident.
Clark is being held in the San Diego County Jail without bond until he is extradited to Pittsburgh.
