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.
