Disgraced American Idol star Corey Clark has been fined and placed on two
years probation after pleading guilty to possession of a controlled
substance and drug paraphernalia.
The R&B singer, who infamously claimed he had an affair with the
reality TV show's judge Paula Abdul, was arrested on an outstanding
warrant in North Little Rock, Arkansas on 30 July (07), when marijuana and
drug paraphernalia were found on his person.
A warrant had been issued for Clark's arrest after he failed to turn up
at an Arizona hearing following a 2006 arrest for trespassing and
violating a court order.
At a hearing in North Little Rock District Court last week
(ends24Aug07), Clark was fined $850 plus court costs, placed on two years
probation and had his extradition rights waived - allowing officials to
transport him to Arizona to face the charges there.
