HOLLYWOOD - American Idol star Corey Clark has been arrested on drug charges and an outstanding warrant in North Little Rock, Arizona.
The R&B singer, who infamously claimed he had an affair with the reality TV show's judge Paula Abdul, was taken into police custody on charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia on July 30.
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.
Clark, who was disqualified from American Idol in 2003 when he failed to reveal a previous arrest, is being held at Pulaski County jail ahead of a scheduled court appearance on Tuesday.
