SACRAMENTO, Calif. _ Stephon Clark's brother, Stevante, was accused of threatening to kill one of his roommates and of shouting profanities at a Sacramento police officer, according to court papers obtained Friday by The Sacramento Bee.
The accusations against Clark, who was arrested Thursday on charges that include suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and making death threats, are contained in an application for a restraining order against him filed by Samantha Urke, who shared a house with her partner and Clark on Acacia Avenue.
Urke said she was "verbally harassed with threat of death and violence, very confrontational behavior, getting into my face and threatening to kill me ... ," according to the application. Urke's application resulted in a restraining order that was granted Wednesday and ordered Clark, 25, to stay at least 5 yards away from Urke and her partner, and to stay away from their workplaces and vehicles.
The order was issued after Urke complained of threatening and abusive behavior by Clark, including him making a "slice across throat motion" at her.
Urke, 30, wrote that on Monday Clark began shouting at a Sacramento police officer who was parked in front of their home, and that when she asked him to stop he began shouting at her until she went back to her room and stayed there.
Urke said Clark, who is referred to as "Person 2" in the restraining order application, was yelling at the officer from his own bedroom.
"I looked out my front door and saw a police officer and cruiser parked in my front lawn, Person #2 was berating the cop, yelling 'you f------ pig, come get me, you can't because you can't touch me' and on and on," she wrote. "I knocked on Person #2 bedroom door and yelled at him to stop yelling at the police and to just be quiet and he began to attack me verbally, through the door, saying, "Fat b----, don't touch me or I will ruin you."
The next morning, Urke wrote, Clark emerged from his bedroom and told her partner, Alejandro Reylon Rouska, that "if you don't control your fat b---- I'll do it for you."
The couple told the Bee on Thursday that Clark had been renting a room from them since January, and that since his brother was shot by Sacramento police on March 18 he had been acting erratically.
The couple had given him a 30-day notice to leave the home by May 5, court documents say, but Urke wrote that Clark "became increasingly aggressive and began to threaten to kill me and make threatening gestures."
"He got into my personal space and begged me to hit him so he could ruin me and mine," she wrote.
Urke said she called police Tuesday, but that Clark continued to berate her while she was on the phone and that an officer directed the couple to leave the home and come to the station to file a report.
Clark's behavior apparently continued to worsen, with authorities saying he posted video on Facebook Live of himself wearing a bulletproof vest and later carrying a dagger in a scabbard in his waistband and muttering about Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg and Police Chief Daniel Hahn.
On Thursday, as police responded to multiple calls about odd behavior from a man on Acacia Avenue who was wearing a bulletproof vest and hitting passing cars with a shovel, Clark was arrested.
