FRIENDSHIP (WKOW) -- Jurors convicted an Adams County man of killing his mother and hiding her body.

61-year-old Larry Clark was convicted on charges of first degree intentional homicide, hiding a corpse, two counts of uttering a forgery, identity theft and two counts of false information on a missing person.

Prosecutors say Clark shot his mother, 79-year-old Marcella Clark, and hid her body on their property in the town of Big Flats. After that, they say Clark used her checking account and credit cards to buy food and other items at local stores.

Clark faces life in prison. A sentencing date has not been set.
