Aldon Smith being transferred to substance abuse center

Aldon Smith, the troubled former 49er and Raider, is being transferred to an inpatient substance abuse center somewhere in California, a San Francisco District Attorney spokesperson has told TMZ Sports.

Smith had been held in San Francisco County Jail since showing up at the sheriff’s department on Friday with a .40 blood-alcohol level.

It is not known how long Smith will be in the substance abuse center. His next court appearance is scheduled for May 3.

Smith had reported to the sheriff’s department to be fitted for a GPS and alcohol-sensing ankle monitor. He was booked and taken into custody for violating a court order and held on $500,000 bail.
