CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – A Clearlake Oaks man is facing a murder charge for the Saturday night shooting death of his wife.
Marc Clark, 58, was arrested late Saturday night and is being held without bail in the Lake County Jail, according to booking records.
He is alleged to have fatally shot his wife, 58-year-old Linda Louise Clark, according to Lt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Brooks said Clark called authorities to report that he had shot his wife after an argument at their home.
Sheriff's deputies and Northshore Fire Protection District personnel were dispatched to Clark's home – located in the 3100 block of Wolf Creek Road in the Spring Valley subdivision – shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday night, with medic units being canceled a short time later, as Lake County News has reported.
Brooks said an autopsy of Linda Clark is scheduled to take place Tuesday morning.
Lake County Superior Court records show no previous criminal cases filed locally against Marc Clark, and Brooks also reported that the sheriff's office has had no previous contacts with him.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Richard Hinchcliff said that Clark is due to appear in Lake County Superior Court for arraignment on Tuesday afternoon.
