The news article regarding Tangelia Clark is a whole lie!!! I think who ever printed this article owes me an apology because I found that it’s slandering my character and reputation! Despite the fact that you owe the community with the truth, not lies. If this was true why haven’t I Tangelia Clark never received any fines or anything regarding the matter, never was arraigned or anything. I got dropped off at the hospital and that it! My lawyer and I are still waiting for the paperwork to be filed at the district court. As of 10/18/2013 nothing has been filed! I was harassed by this officer when I just was in my car looking for my credit card, upon pulling to the turkey hill when the officer came to my car asking me questions for no apparent reason. I’m 3 months pregnant, I don’t drink or do drugs they seen a prescription in my pocketbook and all the automatic came to the conclusion that I was under the influence of my medication, I take it per my doctor’s orders and I shouldn’t be harassed for taking my medication. It’s ashame how this article not only disrespected me, but my family also.
