GULFPORT — Federal inmate Clifton Clark describes himself as a chronically ill 78-year-old with hepatitis C and “a lower back like jelly.”
The former Biloxian has been imprisoned since 1990 because he led a theft ring that chopped up stolen vehicles, then used the parts on wrecked cars for resell at a profit.
So, imagine Clark’s surprise when insurance behemoth State Farm sued him for carelessly causing a house to catch fire in November 2003 while his alleged company was in the process of moving it.
Clark was considered legally notified of the lawsuit in July 2006. A process server said he left the paperwork at Clark’s “usual place of abode” in Wiggins. Because Clark did not initially respond to the lawsuit, State Farm filed a motion for judgement in the company’s favor.
