Former Oakland Raiders EDGE man Aldon Smith has found himself in the headlines once again for the wrong reasons following a domestic violence incident that occurred over the weekend. This has further pushed his life into another discouraging sputter headed south with the involvement of law enforcement in a serious matter.
It had taken a day for the police to locate Smith after an alleged domestic violence matter with his fiancee that she revealed that a possible addiction could have contributed to this entire ordeal. According to TMZ, the 28-year-old has decided to check into a rehab center to help straighten out his life.
“I can tell you this … Aldon called my parents and asked them to take him to rehab,” the woman tells us.
“He complied. They went and got him. I was not there. My family took him and had him checked in.”
“I wish the BEST for Aldon. And I'm scared for his life with his addiction. I cannot comment on the altercation but I can tell you I love him and so happy he turned to my family who considers him family and hopefully he gets the help he truly needs.”
It has been a difficult path for Smith over the last few years since being indefinitely suspended from the NFL due to violating the substance-abuse policy. He has since attempted to file for reinstatement from the league but has been able to receive that clearance.
Since being selected in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, Smith has had many off the field troubles that saw him being arrested on several different occasions that included drunken driving, vandalism, and illegal possession of an assault rifle.
