It's the latest troubling chapter for the 33-year-old former Pro Bowler.
Smith crashed his truck in into the back of a Recology truck at a stop sign in the incident. The other driver reportedly suffered minor injuries. And all of that would have been bad enough, but police said Smith then attempted to bribe the other driver with $1,000 to not give them a call about what had just happened. Police said they found “two empty bottles of hard alcohol” in Smith’s truck, and they say Smith refused field sobriety tests.
Smith, who is still just 33, was taken seventh-overall in the 2011 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound outside linebacker played for the team through the 2014 season. He was an All-Pro and a Pro Bowl pick in 2012 when he had 19.5 sacks. He also had stints with the Raiders, Dallas Cowboys before heading to the Seahawks in 2021. He did not play in a regular-season game for Seattle that year though and has not appeared in the NFL since.
