Frank Clark, who is known for being an American Football player for the Kansas City Chiefs, has been charged with the possession of an illegal firearm.
Kansas City Chiefs NFL Player Frank Clark Charged With Possession Of An Illegal Firearm
The incident occurred in June of this year, when he was stopped by police after breaching some road laws. But after having investigated the matter, they found out that Frank had a firearm in a duffle bag.
The star is set to appear in court in January next year. And yet, this is not the first time that Frank has been in trouble with the authorities. In March of this year, he had been charged with another gun offence.
The police claimed that a man had failed to show a licence plate. But during the course of the search, the police found two loaded firearms. Despite the claims that were being made against him, the sports player denied that the gun was his.
Instead, he alleged that the weapon was a part of his security team. Frank’s conduct, though, has thrown the spotlight on Kansas at a time when the city is already experiencing problems.
Kansas has sadly been suffering from mass gun crime to the point where there are on average 100+ deaths a year. With that being such a major problem, players such as Frank have a duty to set an example.
This charge is not the only thing on the mind of the player, however. He has not had the best season of his career, and in fact, people have began to question whether he will be able to get back to his best form.
Not only is he facing legal troubles, but he has also had to go through many injuries. And if he is convicted of such charges, he will no doubt have to pay a huge fine with potential disciplinary action from his club too.
Frank has largely stayed silent on the matter which is understandable, but the sport authorities have not. As of now, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy had this to say: “We are aware of the matter which will be reviewed under the NFL’s personal conduct policy.”
