Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark was arrested in Los Angeles last night and charged with felony possession of a concealed firearm. The news was first reported by TMZ.com and has since been confirmed by the Los Angeles Police Department (to NFL.com).

Clark was originally pulled over for a vehicle code violation. Officers noticed that a bag inside of the vehicle was holding an Uzi, and the NFL player was subsequently arrested. Clark was in police custody for more than 12 hours before posting $35K bond and being granted his release this afternoon.
Per NFL.com, Clark’s next court date is scheduled for October 18. The arrest could fall under the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy, which could lead to punishment for the veteran defender.
After spending the first four seasons of his career with the Seahawks, Clark joined the Chiefs via trade in 2019. Since joining Kansas City, the defensive lineman has earned a pair of Pro Bowl nods while collecting 14 sacks, 66 tackles, and 29 QB hits in 29 games (26 starts). Clark has also come up big during each of the Chiefs’ last two playoff runs, collecting eight sacks in six games. The 28-year-old reworked his deal earlier this offseason, providing the team some extra wiggle room while converting $5MM of his base salary into a signing bonus.
I think the Chiefs have every line of the penal code covered by at least one player on their roster.
Making the Raiders and Bengals rosters of old look rather law abiding.
The only more incorrigible institution is probably Congress or maybe the church
The Church? You convict a Billion member institution on the wrongs of a few? What they did was ghastly, GOD will handle that, But that’s rank there, sonny!
Right. Let’s give churches a pass on the thousands of sexually abused children world wide that they covered up for decades. There were more than a few, sonny.
They got no pass. It wasn’t more than a few relative to the massive number of members, sonny. Your hatred is palpable. What’s in your closet?
It was thousands, sonny.. You must’ve been in a closet to miss it.
“few relative to the massive number of members”
415,000 priests in the world. Statement still stands.
2,000 out of 415,000 is about 0.50% not even a full 1 percent.
Uh.. ok.
I know Breeland the CB was arrested last off season. But what other KC player has had a run in with the law the last few years? What are you talking about?
What a moron……Cali isn’t gun friendly and this moron drives around with an Uzi (fully auto or not) in plain site?
Why anybody would even want such a trash firearm as an Uzi already makes me personally question their judgement. It’s a terribly inefficient and inaccurate weapon with a short range that’s prone to jamming, and of course is semi-automatic in civilian use, removing its sole advantage of being a bullet hose. Anybody who buys one does so because of the “cool” factor it supposedly has. Anybody who carries one anywhere other than a firing range is probably an idiot.
Perhaps Clark was having second thoughts about giving the Chiefs that wiggle room?
Maybe he spent the extra 5 million on the uzi and was just picking it up to take home
A good look into the life of Frank Clark and what kind of human being he actually is. No doubt will come out with some BS statement like “You don’t understand…I needed the Uzi for my personal protection”. Pure scum
