Zach's wife Courtney Smith's attorney, Julia Leveridge, released a statement on Monday night, in the midst of Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer's paid administrative leave and the investigation into his knowledge and handling of domestic violence allegations against former Ohio State wide receivers coach Zach Smith.
In the statement released to Brett McMurphy, Leveridge says that while "The Ohio State University has never contacted Ms. Smith to discuss these allegations, she will fully cooperate with the university’s current investigation."
The full statement:
Courtney Smith is currently involved in two legal matters, criminal trespass involving her ex-husband Zach Smith, and a domestic violence civil protection order she has obtained to ensure her ongoing safety.
