Seattle Seahawks defensive end Aldon Smith has turned himself into police just days after officials in Louisiana issued a warrant for his arrest over his alleged involvement in a coffee house attack.
Smith, who recently signed with the Seahawks after playing the 2020 season with the Dallas Cowboys, surrendered to authorities Tuesday evening where he was booked on a battery charge and release just two hours later, TMZ Sports reported, citing jail records and one official.
A bulletin posted by the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office on Monday stated that Smith was wanted for an alleged incident that took place at the French Press Coffee House in Chalmette, Louisiana, on Friday night.
"Mr. Smith caused severe injuries to a male victim causing injuries that warranted a state court judge to sign an arrest warrant," the press release read.
