Aldon Smith wanted in Louisiana on battery charge
Just when it looked like Aldon Smith had his life together, some unfortunate news has been shared out of Louisiana.
Smith was one of the best stories in the NFL last season as he successfully made a comeback to the league after missing four seasons after a long battle against substance abuse.
After not suiting up since the 2015 NFL season, Smith appeared in all 16 games for the Cowboys last season and registered 48 tackles, five sacks, 14 quarterback hits, two fumble recoveries and he even scored a defensive touchdown.
Last week, the Seahawks announced they had signed Smith.
Now comes word from Travers Mackrel of WDSU that Smith is wanted by St. Bernard Parish Sheriff James Pohlmann in connection to a battery charge. Mackrel also reports there is a video of the alleged incident.
Alleged incident is on video according to law enforcement leaders in @StBGov – @wdsu | @AdamSchefter @SlaterNFL @diannaESPN @ProFootballTalk @RapSheet https://t.co/Bt1C2gSQve

What a shame, and Smith never seemed like a “problem player” at Mizzou. Seems many of these kids need the regiment of “college athletic life” that keeps them busy as much as they need anything. Maybe instead of turning the NCAA into a business for them so they can get “mo money” from endorsements, the NCAA should INSTEAD institute a “life choices” class. Kids like Aldon Smith don’t need “mo money” from Nike they need actual adults showing them how to be adults.
That usually starts with a Dad, and before you all go off on me, i don’t know this kids story so that may not apply to him. I’m just sayin in general it starts with a father figure in the house.
I tend to agree w/ what you are saying. His dad, as far as I can recall, was an estranged father figure that basically took interest in him after he got a college offer. From Raytown,(that’s KC), so yea, it’s an all too familiar story.
If you don’t know his story then why’d you make insinuations as to his familial life…almost all these mass murderers coming up out of the conservative ways of thinking had a dad around growing up…but look at them…”I’m just sayin in general it starts with a father figure in the house.”
I believe the point he’s making is that the guy had poor role models, etc.
Go be offended over something stupid somewhere else. Parenting is an issue across the board and nobody said jack about conservative or liberals (except you). Sorry that facts bother you and it’s a fact that many kids today are raised by less than 2 parents.
“mass murderers” you certainly lepped to a new subject, that really has no pertinence to this thread topic.
@junebaby01 want to give us a source for that statement?
Most mass murderers come from liberal backgrounds try again. And that stats show a large portion of those incarcerated grow up without a father regardless as race
Yup.
No worries here. First thing I think about when we have “breaking news” on yet another police arrest is were where the parents, were was the dad…..and I mean BEFORE the parents contact a lawyer for a cash settlement.
Not sure where Junebaby01 got his/her information regarding, “almost all these mass murderers coming up out of the conservative ways of thinking had a dad around growing up…” If one actually does some research one would find a much more “diverse” set of circumstances regarding mass murderers. Might be prudent to stick to sports on this website. Nonetheless, one hates to see talent wasted on bad behavior – on the field or off.

I love where it says on the wanted poster that it wasn’t for media release.
