Aldon Smith was stopped OBVIOUSLY because of his color, though in Oakland that’s no news.
Report: Raiders Aldon Smith detained by police for public intoxication
Raiders linebacker Aldon Smith was detained for public intoxication by police in San Francisco Thursday morning after a vehicle he was riding in crashed into a police car, KTVU reported.
Smith was later released and no charges will be filed against him, according to the KTVU report. Smiths girlfriend was driving the car and she was arrested on suspicion of DUI, NBC Bay Area reported.
Smith was interviewed after leaving the police station and denied any involvement, telling a reporter, Im doing great. Nothing happened. If I did something Id be in jail right now. I didnt do anything.

Drunk and stupid at 8:30 in the morning. Party On!!!!
GOOD GRIEF! Good news? I can't believe it. Lol.
At the start of his career, Smith looked like he was on his way to becoming a first-ballot Hall of Famer - one of the best pure pass rushers to come along in years. The dynamic duo of substance abuse and a complete lack of self-control have undone him, as they have so many others.
