Overview
- Clarke, who was booked at 1:03 p.m. local time Wednesday in Cross County, Arkansas, faces counts of possession and trafficking of a controlled substance, improper passing, and fleeing while speeding.
- The sheriff’s office published a booking profile and photo, but it has not identified the substance or said if the charges are misdemeanors or felonies.
- The booking record lists a 'CID hold', and Chief Deputy Larry Jones said there was no additional information to release.
- Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said he had no comment before Memphis played New York, and the team has not issued a detailed statement.
- The Commercial Appeal first reported the arrest, which was then confirmed by the AP and Reuters, and it comes after Memphis ruled Clarke out for the season following knee surgery and a December calf strain.
