[NARRATIVE #1 on May 24, 2026]

On May 24th, 2026, at approximately 1837 hrs, I, Dep. Schlageter, was dispatched to [300 BLOCK] Wynn Pl Apt [REDACTED] in reference to a burglary. I was wearing my issued class A uniform with my badge clearly displayed and driving marked patrol unit #902. I was assisted by Sgt. Archie.

Upon arrival, I began speaking with [VICTIM #1] (B/F DOB [REDACTED BY AGENCY]/81). She stated that she has a security camera in her living room that faces the kitchen and door. She stated that the ex-boyfriend, Larry Clark Jr (B/M DOB [REDACTED BY AGENCY]/67), entered her apartment by unlocking the door with a key. She stated she did not provide him with a key. She showed me her security camera footage. The footage totaled 6 different clips. Larry is seen entering the apartment, no forced entry, at 1208hrs, he walks immediately towards the bedroom and looks directly at the security camera.

I observed him to match the drivers license photo attached to his name. He enters a bedroom and then comes back into the kitchen. He is messing with unknown things on the kitchen counter when he turns and goes to the refrigerator. He opens it and pulls out a Simply Orange bottle and opens. He is seen reaching towards his pants and grabbing an aerosol can with a black top. He sprayed some of the contents of the can into the Simple Orange bottle and closed the bottle, placing it back into the refrigerator. He is seen leaving the apartment at 1222 hrs.

[VICTIM #1] provided me with the security clips by emailing them to my county email address. She stated that the aerosol can used was a Hot Shot bug spray can from the bathroom.

Sgt. Archie arrived with a GBI Blood Kit. I removed the urine sample cup to use as storage for a sample of the Simply Orange juice. I filled it to approximately 80mL and secured it by closing the lid. Sgt. Archie photographed the Simply Orange bottle and the Hot Shot bug spray can.

Sgt. Ferguson notified the on-call investigator, Sgt. Robillard, on my behalf. Sgt. Robillard advised to document the incident for investigations to follow up with.

Earlier in the day at approximately 1424 hrs, I, and Dep. Wheeler arrived at the apartment to assist Dep. M. Davis. While on another call for service, Dep. M. Davis was flagged down by a female who was crying. He advised us that a male was in her apartment but could not show video proof. We cleared the apartment and did not locate anyone inside. She advised us it was Larry.

I submitted the Simply Orange sample into evidence at the Houston County Sheriffs Office.

[NARRATIVE #2 on May 25, 2026]

On 05/25/2026, at approximately 0337 hours, I, Sergeant Archie was dispatched to [300 BLOCK] Wynn Place, Reserve at Wynn Place, in reference to harassing communications. Dispatch advised the victim, [VICTIM #1] wanted contact by phone.

I made contact with [VICTIM #1], and she stated her ex-boyfriend, Larry Clark Jr contacted her seven times, by phone. [VICTIM #1] stated she believed it was him because in one of the text messages he stated, “have a good Memorial Day [VICTIM #1].” [VICTIM #1] advised she believed it was Larry because he commonly calls her by her full name, and because of an incident that occurred earlier today, see case number 26-10728. [VICTIM #1] stated the calls came in from all different numbers, but the text message came from [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and she believed Larry was using fake numbers to contact her.

I could not locate any local history with the number [VICTIM #1] provided.

[VICTIM #1] was advised of the case number and to block all numbers that contacted her.

I will attach the screenshots from [VICTIM #1] when they are received.

DEFENSE FILES MOTION TO SET BOND

What this means: Attorney Samuel G. Alderman III, representing Larry Dale Clark Jr., filed a formal request asking the Houston Superior Court to set a bond in Case No. 2026C0064994. The motion argued that Clark had been held in the Houston County Jail since March 28, 2026, posed no significant flight risk due to strong ties to the Macon-Bibb County area, and did not pose a danger to the community or a risk of witness intimidation. The defense also noted that Clark owns and operates a towing business. A bond hearing was requested so a judge could consider releasing Clark while the case proceeded.

ACCUSATION FILED — BURGLARY IN THE FIRST DEGREE

Fletcher, filed a formal accusation — a charging document — against Larry Dale Clark Jr. in the Superior Court of Houston County under Case No. 2026C0064994. An accusation is a charging method used in Georgia that does not require a grand jury; it allows the prosecution to bring felony charges directly.

The accusation alleges that on or about May 24, 2026, Clark unlawfully entered a dwelling in Warner Robins, Georgia with the intent to commit Distribution of a Counterfeit Substance, a felony.

LARRY DALE CLARK JR. PLEADS GUILTY TO BURGLARY IN THE FIRST DEGREE — SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS PROBATION

What this means: On June 4, 2026, Larry Dale Clark Jr. appeared in the Superior Court of Houston County and pleaded guilty to Count 1 — Burglary in the First Degree — under Case No. 2026C0064994. The plea was negotiated, meaning the defense and prosecution reached an agreement on the outcome before going before the judge. The First Offender checkboxes on the disposition form were not marked, so this is a standard conviction.

The court sentenced Clark to 10 years, to be served entirely on probation with no prison time. Clark received credit for time served in custody from May 28, 2026 through the date of sentencing. A fine of $1,000 was imposed, along with court-mandated surcharges totaling $455, bringing the full financial obligation to $1,455.

Prior to entering the plea, Clark completed a written Acknowledgment and Waiver of Rights form, confirming he understood the charges, the rights he was giving up by pleading guilty, and that his plea was made freely and voluntarily. The maximum possible sentence for the charge was noted on the form as 20 years. Clark indicated he was represented by private counsel and was satisfied with that representation.
