Was Clark under arrest the first time he was in handcuffs when he was taken to the crime lab to submit to DNA tests? They say he wasn't, but he was handcuffed and they later said he was released to his attorney.

Was there probable cause to arrest him or was he in handcuffs just as a person of interest? It seems there would not have been probable cause until after the DNA results. They said he was not under arrest, but he was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car.
