Aldon Smith to be arraigned for violating probation

Aldon Smith has two legal issues on his Friday agenda. The Raiders edge rusher will argue a motion to suppress evidence relating to misdemeanor charges of DUI with a prior conviction, hit and run and vandalism from an Aug. 2015 incident that prompted his release from the 49ers.

According to a Santa Clara County criminal case index, Smith will also be arraigned on a violation of probation from a prior conviction. It’s uncertain what incident the charge stems from.

Smith is serving a calendar-year suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. He is eligible for reinstatement in November, and assuming he follows strict guidelines during this suspension.
