Former San Francisco 49ers star Aldon Smith was arrested once again this week for driving while under the influence, and he is facing a felony charge after the latest incident.
Smith was arrested on Monday and charged with felony DUI causing injury. According to TMZ, the 32-year-old was involved in a two-car crash in San Mateo Valley, Calif. One person suffered a minor injury in the accident, and Smith was taken into custody from the scene.
Smith was still in custody as of Tuesday afternoon, with his bail set at $50,000. He was due in court for a hearing on Wednesday.
The DUI arrest is the latest of several for Smith, who once had seemingly infinite potential. He has also been arrested for hit-and-run. In 2018, Smith’s blood alcohol content was five times the legal limit during an arrest.
Earlier this year, Smith turned himself in on a warrant for an alleged battery incident. He was charged with second-degree battery after police say they responded to a call for medical assistance outside a business in Chalmette, La. Smith was accused of choking a man unconscious.
Smith was reinstated from a suspension prior to last season and appeared in all 16 games for the Dallas Cowboys. The former No. 7 overall pick had five sacks and 50 QB pressures. He was with the Seattle Seahawks this past offseason but released following his April arrest.
