The ex-wife of Ohio State wide receivers coach Zach Smith filed a domestic violence protection order against him Friday, according to a report from Brett McMurphy.
The order, filed with the Delaware, Ohio police department, would go into effect for five years, unless reversed by a judge at an Aug. 3 hearing, and prohibits Smith from being within 500 feet of his ex-wife, Courtney Carano Smith.
The ruling states: "the court finds that (Courtney Smith) is in immediate and present danger of domestic violence and for good cause the following temporary orders are necessary to protect the persons named (Courtney Smith and her children Cameron, 8, and Quinn, 6) in this order from domestic violence.
