‘American Idol’ Scandals Continue With Corey Clark

‘American Idol’ finalist Corey Clark was arrested last October following a disturbance in his family’s Topeka, Kansas home. Neighbors called police after hearing a girl yelling inside the Clark residence on SW 33rd Terrace. A witness tells TheSmokingGun.com that while he heard loud noises coming from the home, “what finally caught my attention was a lot of screaming. Then I knew somebody was getting hurt.” When police arrived, Clark and his 15-year-old sister Alecia were questioned separately by officers. After about 15 minutes, Clark became confrontational with cops, screaming and yelling at officers, several of whom responded by wrestling him to the pavement. Clark was handcuffed behind his back and placed in a Topeka Police Department cruiser, where he was booked into the Shawnee County jail and charged with a variety of misdemeanors. Clark faces a maximum of a year in prison on two of the three filed misdemeanors, and a max of six months on the third count. Read more.
