DAILEY — A Randolph County man is facing a felony charge for allegedly driving without an operator’s license after it was revoked due to a previous DUI conviction.

Clarence Phillip Louk, 60, of Dailey, is charged with one count of driving with a license suspended or revoked for DUI, a felony. Louk was being held at the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on an $8,000 cash-only bond that has since been posted.

According to the criminal complaint, filed by Trooper H.J. Bonetti with the West Virginia State Police, on Jan. 23, Bonetti was conducting a road patrol on US-219 in Dailey when he allegedly observed Louk’s vehicle traveling northbound on US-219 with no registration plate.
