Ex-Wolverine Frank Clark Allegedly Told Hotel Manager 'I Will Hit You Like I Hit Her'

SEATTLE (CBSDetroit/AP) -- More details are emerging from an incident involving former Michigan Wolverines defensive end Frank Clark and his girlfriend at a hotel in Sandusky, Ohio in November.

According to the Seattle Times, the night that Clark allegedly hit his then-girlfriend Diamond Hurt at a hotel room in Ohio, a hotel manager confronted the former Michigan Wolverine before he exited the room.

"In a statement to police in Sandusky, Ohio, the day after the incident, manager Stephanie Burkhardt wrote that soon after she entered the couple's hotel room Clark told her, "I will hit you like I hit her" and shouldered her out of the way before leaving."

Clark was taken to jail on Nov. 15 -- the night of the incident -- and was ultimately hit with a disorderly conduct conviction. He was dismissed from the Wolverines football program two days later.

The 21-year-old Ypsilanti, Michigan-area resident had pleaded not guilty in Sandusky Municipal Court to misdemeanor charges of domestic violence and assault.

Clark was sentenced to three days of jail time already served. He also paid $250 plus $100 court costs. The assault charge was dismissed.

The Seattle Seahawks drafted Clark in the 2nd Round of the 2015 NFL Draft on May 1.
