A VIOLENT thug who held his neighbour hostage could be facing a life sentence.
The terrifying attack saw the 48-year-old restraining the man, binding his ankles with a cable before escaping with loot including his phone, watch and car.Clark was convicted of the crimes following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
He was found guilty of abduction, assault and robbery as well as careless driving and other road traffic offences. After the verdicts, prosecutor Shanti Maguire revealed Clark already had 49 previous convictions including violence and drug crimes.He then raised the possibility of eventually imposing an Order for Lifelong Restriction, which would see Clark behind bars until he is deemed safe to be freed.
Judge Gallacher told Clark:"You are a habitual criminal. You have offended against the community for years, verging on decades."I will be considering whether you merit release at all."Clark started ranting about different lawyers as he was led handcuffed back to the cells.He also forced the man to give him the passcode for his phone and warned him not to contact police.Clark struck having flouted four separate bail orders imposed by sheriffs in Dumbarton and Paisley.
