Within weeks of the CorruptCU letter going public, the University of Illinois interviewed Officer James Clark for a position in the University of Illinois Police Department. James Clark is the officer and supervisor primarily responsible for the false arrest and malicious prosecution of Christopher Hansen. Clark violated countless department policies and refused to identify himself or explain the stop before shattering Hansen’s car window.
Clark, before writing a police report, rushed to brag about his arrest on Facebook, posting Christopher Hansen’s full name and age. Link to Clark’s Facebook Post. A fellow Champaign Police Officer, who prefers not to be identified, recently described Clark as “a horrible human being”, and that “there is not one person in that police department who liked that man.” He went on to say that, “based upon on all the facts, common sense should have prevailed and you should never have been arrested. The only reason you were is because Jim Clark was there… Clark is a vengeful mean piece of shit. ”
