Corey Clark , the "American Idol" contestant best known for claiming to have had an affair with Paula Abdul (a judge on the Fox-TV talent show), was cited Saturday (6/27) morning in Sacramento on a misdemeanor battery charge.

Police said that Clark and Laura Kathleen Troy, a record-company manager, got into an argument in a room at Sacramento's Sheraton Grand Hotel, and were loud enough to prompt guests to call police.

When they entered the room, police found that Clark and Troy both had scratches on their arms and that there were broken dishes strewn about.

Clark had performed the night before at Raley Field, a minor-league ballpark in nearby West Sacramento.
