  • Two children were reportedly in the car at the time of the crash, but nobody sustained injuries, and the children were released to a family member.
  • Clark, known for winning season 16 of Bravo's Top Chef in 2019, spent the night in jail following her arrest.
  • Alabama law considers having a child under 14 in a vehicle during intoxication an aggravated circumstance, though enhanced charges are rare without injury.
