On October 6, 2023, Arian Clark, formerly of Danville, Illinois, was sentenced to seven years in
the Illinois Department of Corrections. Upon his release from prison, Clark will be required to
serve six months of mandatory supervised release.
After a one-day trial on July 18, 2023, a Vermilion County Jury found Clark guilty of Aggravated
Driving While License Revoked. Evidence was presented to the Jury that on August 2, 2021
Clark was the driver of a vehicle that caused a rear-end collision on Poland Road in Danville.
Clark initially exchanged insurance information with the victim, but tried to convince them not
to call the police to report the accident. While the victim was calling 911, Clark left the scene
before officers arrived. Officers from the Danville Police Department conducted an investigation
and issued a citation to Clark for driving while his license was revoked.
At a sentencing hearing on October 6, 2023, the Honorable Derek Girton, who also presided over
the Jury Trial, delivered the sentence.
