Former Cowboys DE Aldon Smith Arrested on Felony Charge of DUI Causing Injury

Former NFL defensive end Aldon Smith was arrested Monday on a felony charge of DUI causing injury, per TMZ Sports.

Smith's bail is set at $50,000. He was still in custody as of TMZ Sports' report at 6:07 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Smith is also due in court Wednesday.

The 32-year-old played for the San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys. He also signed a contract with the Seattle Seahawks in April but was released in August because of an "off-the-field matter," according to ESPN's Brady Henderson.

Smith's legal history includes multiple DUI arrests as well as domestic violence-related charges in 2018.

In April, Smith was booked on a second-degree battery charge after allegedly choking someone unconscious in an altercation that began in a Chalmette, Louisiana coffee shop.

Guy needs help in a big way. I know a lot of you will rip him but I suspect he has some deep seated mental health issues he still hasn't come to grips with. Not a bleeding heart just the way I see it with this guy. Hope he gets his crap together once and for all.

This is so unlike him.

Former Cowboy? Dude literally played one season in Dallas. Last time I checked he was a Seahawk.

Alcohol can be just like the hardcore drugs. It can suck the life out of its user.

I think he was cut prior to the season

 

[jwooten15]

He’ll either kill someone else or be dead within 5 years. He’s certifiably insane

I remember how Jay Glazier hyped Smith up. He made him sound like he was a choir boy who was on the straight and narrow. When we signed Smith many on the board were acting like his problems were long behind him. lol

I think we hoped this would be the case both with our team and with his sake.

 

[nightrain]

Terrible news. Hate to see him fall back into the abyss. Hope he gets the right help asap.

Many were hoping but he had only been out of trouble for something like 8 or 9 months. He was carrying a lot of baggage.

 

[SportsGuru80]

I could care less... He literally had a cup of coffee with the Cowboys yet "former Cowboy is the lead.

Yes, he certainly was. It's a shame, and society should really do better about dealing with mental health. I think he's got an illness. I think the weed and alcohol were ways he's trying to cope with what's bothering him. I hope he can get good help.
