LAS VEGAS MAN GETS 4-YEAR SENTENCE IN CONNECTION WITH FOLEY BUILDING FIRE

Although Marty Clark, 34, of Las Vegas, was originally charged with arson, he
pleaded guilty in June to a lesser charge of depredation of government property.

A man originally charged with setting fire to the Foley Federal Building, to
protest actions by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, has been
sentenced to more than four years in prison.

U.S. District Judge Andrew P. Gordon imposed the punishment Wednesday afternoon
against Marty Clark, 34, of Las Vegas. Though originally charged with arson,
Clark pleaded guilty in June of this year to a charge of depredation of
government property.



Investigators say Clark was seen on surveillance video immediately after a fire
broke out in the front of the Foley Building on Las Vegas Boulevard, in the
early morning hours of Nov. 7, 2020. A security officer tried to nab Clark, but
he got away, losing his eyeglasses and dropping a gasoline can in the process.

He allegedly told the officer: “It’s my right to protest.”

DNA from Clark’s glasses, and tips from the public, led investigators to Clark,
who had posted anti-ATF material on social media. Court documents suggest Clark
was angry at the ATF because his attempt to buy a gun was rejected due to his
previous criminal history.



In seeking a 48-month sentence, at the low end of the federal guidelines,
Clark’s lawyer Joanne Diamond, an assistant federal public defender, told the
judge that although Clark knew what he was doing was a crime, he was in the
midst of a schizophrenic episode at the time.

But federal prosecutor Bianca Pucci said Clark’s methamphetamine use was a more
likely reason for his behavior than mental health issues. Pucci noted other
pending criminal charges are pending against the defendant, including one in
which Clark is accused of trying to enter Nellis Air Force Base in a stolen
Humvee.

In handing Clark a 51-month prison term, Judge Gordon called his crime “an
attack on democracy,” and said if Clark was trying to protest something, it was
a “truly misguided form of protest.”

Clark has been in custody since his arrest and was remanded to the federal
Bureau of Prisons to serve his sentence.
