DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) -Kelsey Clark, the Dothan businesswoman and author who received national attention for her championship cooking abilities, spent the night in jail after police charged her with DUI.
“We received a call regarding a vehicle striking the mailbox in the 1300 block of Selkirk Drive,” Dothan Police Public Information Officer Lieutenant Scott Owens. “Our officers who responded to the scene determined that the Ms. Clark was under the influence.”

In 2019, Clark won season 16 of “Top Chef,” a nationally televised competition, which drew tourists to her downtown restaurant KBC which she built from a catering business she founded. She also authored two books.
Several hundred cheered for Clark during a downtown victory celebration following her win on the Bravo network program.
Clark would likely be eligible for a pretrial program that would keep the DUI charge off her record. It was not immediately clear if she had retained an attorney who could speak on her behalf.
