Clark was given a summons for a misdemeanor domestic assault charge and released.
"It sounds like a verbal dispute that just got out of hand," Sgt. Justin Risley told the Bee.
Clark got the boot from "American Idol" two years ago for failing to tell producers that he had been arrested in Kansas for assaulting his sister and fighting with police. He later claimed an affair with Abdul, one of the judges on the program, which she denies.
