Philly Anchor Arrested for making Terroristic Threats And Other Crimes
/Yesterday, FTVLive FIRST told you in a Patron Only story, that WCAU Anchor Dray Clark was being accused of abuse by a woman named Aigner Cleveland.
About an hour after FTVLive posted that story, the NBC O&O posted a story to their website that says that Clark was charged with 16 crimes including simple assault, making terroristic threats, harassment, and theft.
WCAU reports that a woman described as Clark’s girlfriend (Aigner Cleveland) told police that an argument outside Clark's Chester, Pennsylvania, home late Thursday escalated and Clark struck her several times, put his hands around her throat and choked her, according to a police criminal complaint.
We also found out that this was the second time Clark was arrested in the past week. The police report filed Friday mentions that Clark was arrested last weekend in Wilmington, Delaware, and accused of beating the same woman.
He appeared on the station after the first arrest, but as FTVLive FIRST told you, he was taken off the air yesterday.
WCAU management issued a statement saying that "Station management learned today that Dray Clark was arrested on both domestic violence related cases. We take these allegations very seriously. Effective immediately, Dray will be off the air pending the station’s investigation."
Clark was hired at the station in 2017 from WABC and we’re betting that you will not see him on the air again at WCAU.
