JR Smith arrested on Texas family-violence charge

Former NBA player J.R. Smith was arrested in Texas after Royse City police stopped his vehicle on Interstate 30 and confirmed an outstanding warrant issued by Southlake police. He faces a charge of assault causing bodily injury involving family violence; authorities have called the matter an ongoing investigation and have not publicly disclosed details of the allegation. Reports conflict over his custody and bond status: several say a $5,000 bond was set, while accounts differ on whether he remained jailed or was released. Smith has not been convicted and is presumed innocent. He won NBA championships with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers during his 16-season career and later graduated from North Carolina A&T.
