Let’s not even get into the true count of arrests, incidents, investigations and suspensions that Aldon Smith has tallied up in the last four or five years as an embarrassing member of the 49ers and most recently the Raiders.
Is it 10 incidents? 12? 20? And what about all the other times a friendly security person–or team-employed police officer–plucked him out of trouble?
Honestly, I’ve stopped adding, though I’m sure his lawyers haven’t.
I know it’s a tale of perpetual Aldon Trouble–from an alleged bomb threat at LAX to drunkenly driving his car into a tree to a domestic-violence investigation to multiple substance abuse suspensions to this morning, when he was detained for public intoxication after he was in the car when his girlfriend allegedly crashed into an SUV into a San Francisco Police car.
