Aldon Smith reportedly arrested for DUI

Problems and troubles continue to grow for former NFL star defensive lineman Aldon Smith.

The former San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders sack machine from the University of Missouri was reportedly arrested Monday night on the suspicion of driving under the influence.

Per KansasCity.com:

Police initially stopped Smith on a traffic violation. He was arrested around midnight on suspicion of DUI. He was taken to the Mission police station, where he was issued citations and released to a friend, said Capt. Kevin Self, a spokesman for the Mission Police Department. The specifics of the citations were not immediately available, but all were municipal charges, Self said.

Smith had an NFL record with 33 1/2 sacks his first two seasons with the 49ers, who drafted him in the first round in 2011.

The 49ers released him in August 2015 after multiple run-ins with the law. The Oakland Raiders signed him nefore the start of the 2015 season. He played in nine games before being suspended again for at least one year.

The Raiders cut him in March 2018 after San Francisco police said they were searching for him in connection with a domestic violence allegation.
