NFL roundup: 49ers' Smith arrested after crash
San Francisco 49ers pass rusher Aldon Smith was arrested Friday morning for suspicion of DUI and marijuana possession after he was involved in a crash, according to the Santa Clara County Sherriff's Department.
Smith was the driver in a single-vehicle accident, according to San Jose Police. Nobody was injured in the crash. He was arrested at 7 a.m.
The Bay Area News Group reported that marijuana and pills were also found in the car Smith was driving when he crashed into a tree. He also reportedly had a blood-alcohol content level of 0.15.
An NFL spokesman told the Bay Area News Group that such an arrest could result in a suspension, per league policy.
It is Smith's second DUI arrest since the 49ers drafted him in the first round in 2011.
---Houston Texans running back Arian Foster said in a documentary, which airs in October, that he was paid while starring at Tennessee.
"I called my coach and I said, 'Coach, we don't have no food. We don't have no money. We're hungry," Foster said, in a three-minute clip previewing "Schooled: The Price of College Sports." "Either you give us some food, or I'm gonna go do something stupid.' He came down and he brought like 50 tacos for like four or five of us. Which is an NCAA violation. (He laughs). But then, I walk up to the facility and I see my coach pull up in a brand new Lexus."
Foster was at Tennessee from 2005-08.
