Former Missouri defensive end Aldon Smith is in trouble with the law again.
Smith was released today by the San Francisco 49ers following his Thursday night arrest for DUI, hit and run and vandalism, according to the Santa Clara Police Department.
Here’s the report from ProFootballTalk.com:
According to a police report released on Friday, police responded to a report of a collision at 8:46 p.m. on Thursday night. The report alleges Smith collided with another car while trying to park, further damaged it when he opened his door to get out of his car and then left without reporting the accident or leaving information.
Smith later returned to the area and officers dispatched to the scene found that he “displayed objective symptoms of being under the influence of an alcoholic beverage.” Smith took a field sobriety test before being arrested and transported to jail. The report states Smith gave a sample for alcohol screening, but the department’s policy is not to release the results.
If prosecutors decide to file charges, Smith will be due in court October 6.
Smith played at the University of Missouri from 2008 to 2010 and was the No. 7 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft.
