Following the conclusion of the Toreros’ best season since 2008, the University of San Diego’s men’s basketball head coach Lamont Smith was arrested Sunday morning at Oakland International Airport on three domestic violence-related charges. Smith, 42, was traveling home following his team’s win against the University of San Francisco when he was arrested.
According to records released by the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department, officers were dispatched to the team’s hotel late Saturday night after reports of a domestic violence incident. The alleged victim’s relationship to Smith is unclear, though he is married with two children. The alleged victim told police she was intimately involved with Smith, and was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
