Defensive end Aldon Smith, who signed with the Seahawks last week in the latest step in reviving an NFL career that has been beset by legal and other issues, is wanted in connection to a second-degree battery case in the New Orleans area, according to the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office.
The alleged incident occurred roughly two days after the Seahawks announced Smith’s signing Thursday. He reached agreement with the Seahawks a day after he visited the team’s facility in Renton.
The sheriff’s office confirmed the incident in a statement released Monday afternoon, noting that Smith was still at large.
