Man wanted for shooting police officers was granted clemency by Mike Huckabee
Maurice Clemmons, the man wanted for questioning, has been convicted of five felonies in his home state Arkansas and has been charged with eight felonies in Washington state. In 1989, Clemmons, then aged 17, was convicted in Little Rock for aggravated robbery. He was paroled in 2000 after Mr Huckabee commuted Clemmons' 35-year prison sentence. Mr Huckabee, who took criticism during his run for the Republican presidential nomination for the number of pardons he issued, cited Clemmons' age at the time of the sentence.
