Idling Corey Clark arrested in North Little Rock for drug possession, Arizona warrants Tuesday, Jul 31, 2007 Stephens Media NORTH LITTLE ROCK - Ex-American Idol Corey Clark, who claimed to have had an affair with show co-host Paula Abdul, was arrested in North Little Rock early Monday on charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, a police spokesman said. Sgt. Terry Kuykendall, the North Little Rock Police Department's public information officer, said officers were dispatched at 2:45 a.m. to 5711 Pritchard Drive after a report of a suspicious vehicle idling in the area. When officers approached, Clark exited the vehicle, in which he was a passenger. His name was run through the Arkansas Crime Information Center and the National Crime Information Center, which revealed outstanding warrants from Arizona, where Clark was arrested and charged earlier this year for aggravated harassment and interference with judicial proceedings, Kuykendall said. A $25,000 bond was set for the 27-year-old Mount Juliet, Tenn., resident. Police contacted Arizona officials and agreed to hold Clark in North Little Rock for up to 15 days while the extradition process gets under way, Kuykendall said. Clark, who was born in California, was disqualified in the second season of "American Idol" after TheSmokingGun.com revealed Clark was arrested after a domestic dispute. Two years after being booted from the show, Clark claimed he and Abdul had an affair during the time he appeared on "American Idol." Abdul denied the allegation. |
