Yale lab tech Raymond Clark III was arrested Thursday morning for the murder of grad student Annie Le, but this isn’t his first run-in with the law. In 2003, when Clark was in high school, police were called in regarding his dispute with his then-girlfriend. "The two are in a relationship which [the girlfriend] wishes to terminate and [the male] does not wish to end it,” the now-sealed police report says, according to the New Haven Independent. “At one time [the male] did force her to have sex with him” and “wrote on her locker.” The woman involved wrote on her Facebook page on Wednesday: "Its jsut [sic] bringing back everything… Its [sic] been a rough few days." A neighbor of Clark’s, meanwhile, told The New York Daily News that he was “very controlling” of his fiancée and “would never let her talk to anyone.” Le’s body was found hidden in a wall on Sunday. Security ID cards indicate Clark was the last person to see her alive.
