Chiefs' Clark charged with possession of firearm, could face jail time

Kansas City Chiefs pass-rusher Frank Clark has been charged with possession of an assault weapon and could face up to three years in prison, TMZ Sports reports.

The L.A. County District Attorney's office confirmed the charge to NFL.com.

The two-time Pro Bowler was arrested in California in March after two loaded guns were found in his vehicle during a traffic stop, and he was arrested again in June after police found an Uzi submachine gun in his car during another routine stop. The charge stems from the incident in March.

Clark will return to court on July 14 for a hearing. He's scheduled to appear in court again on Oct. 18 for the June arrest.

The 28-year-old was a key cog of the Chiefs' Super Bowl-winning team in 2019 and picked up another six sacks in Kansas City's trip back to the championship game last season. Clark has 49 career sacks in six seasons, split between the Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks.

Clark will likely face league discipline for the off-field incident.
