The 28-year-old was pulled over for a vehicle code violation in Los Angeles when authorities saw the gun sticking out of a duffle bag in Clark’s truck during the routine traffic stop. He was arrested and charged with the carrying of a concealed firearm in a vehicle.
Clark’s bond was set at $35,000, but he posted it and was released the next day. His court date is scheduled for Oct. 18 at 8:30 a.m. PT.

But this is not the football star’s first interaction with the law. Clark was arrested and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence and assault in 2014 due to an incident with his then-pregnant girlfriend during his time in college at Michigan. Clark was dismissed from the team after his arrest.
The two-time Pro Bowler has been key to the franchise’s back-to-back Super Bowl runs, tallying six sacks and 29 tackles last year alone. He’s in the middle of a five-year deal worth $104 million with Kansas City through 2024.
