Pinellas County sheriff's officials Wednesday identified the man they are seeking in a series of recent bank robberies as Patrick W. Clark, 38. Clark is wanted in connection with four robberies in Dunedin, Seminole and St. Petersburg during March, officials said. He is described as a white man with brown eyes who weighs 165 to 170 pounds and stands about 5 feet, 11 inches tall. Officials say he alters his appearance slightly by changing the way he wears his long dirty-blond hair, and by alternating between being clean-shaven and having facial hair. Investigators say he may have cut his hair very short or shaved his head. Detectives said they believe he is armed with a recently stolen handgun. Clark is transient, but investigators said they believe he is still around St. Petersburg. Anyone with information about Clark is asked to call sheriff's Detective Jim Cavagnaro at 727 582-6200 or Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-873-8477.
