Former Delphi Chief of Police Frederick B. Clark, 60, was arrested for drug smuggling Tuesday morning. A Federal Grand Jury named Clark in an indictment issued May 5. He was arrested at 11 a.m. at The Office Tavern in Delphi by an FBI agent and U.S. Customs Service officer. According to the FBI, Clark and his son, Frederick Dean Clark, 35, allegedly helped two men import cocaine from the Bahamas into the Jensen Beach, Fla., area by boat in November and December, 1992. The younger Clark, formerly of Delphi, was arrested Monday at his residence in Port St. Lucie, Fla. The senior Clark served as Chief of Police for the City of Delphi for a few years in the mid-70’s. When he retired from the Delphi Police Department in 1978, he moved to Florida. For the past year he has been living in Delphi with his younger son, Alan Clark. He has reportedly been living on his police pension of between $800-$900 a month and was a part-time bartender at the Delphi American Legion Post. The year-long investigation continues and more charges are expected to be filed against additional suspects, according to the FBI. The quickest way to make yourself miserable is to start wondering whether you’re as happy as you could be.
