Scotter Clark, a poker player who often dressed in full pirate costume at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), was arrested Monday in Oklahoma for allegedly soliciting a woman and stabbing a man who confronted him.
Clark was booked in the Tulsa Municipal Jail and charged with two felony counts of assault with a dangerous weapon. The incident isn't the first time he's run into some legal trouble.
Accusations Against Poker Player
Clark, who claimed to have been banned from Caesars properties during the 2022 WSOP, allegedly attempted to solicit an unidentified woman for sex in Tulsa. She is said to have declined his proposition, and an unnamed male who accompanied her confronted the poker pro.
Police say Clark then stabbed the man in the head and chest before leaving the scene in his blue pickup truck. Clark then, according to investigators, backed his truck into the female victim. Both victims were treated at a local hospital and are expected to survive their injuries.
A person who witnessed the incident called 911 and provided police with the suspect's license plate number. Clark, an Iowa native, was taken into custody late Monday night. He claimed he was involved in an altercation after someone broke into his truck.
Clark has over $500,000 in live tournament cashes, and frequently played in WSOP, World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC), and RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) events. He was well-known on the mid-stakes tournament circuit. But he also has a criminal past, which includes a 2000 conviction for selling cocaine, which resulted in a 180-month federal prison sentence.
