Seattle Seahawks defensive end Aldon Smith is wanted for allegedly committing second-degree battery.
An arrest warrant was issued after the NFL player reportedly choked a victim unconscious on Saturday during a confrontation inside a coffee shop in Chalmette, Louisiana, ESPN reported, citing St. Bernard Parish District Attorney Perry Nicosia.
Smith has been suspended multiple times by the NFL for drug-related offenses and personal misconduct violations. He was out of the league from 2016 to 2019 and reinstated in 2020. After a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, he joined the Seahawks Thursday.

What is this NFL thing I hear so much about?
Surprised The Cowboys dodged that bullet they usually get caught with them.
Some people just can't handle their caffeine.
I think this article is incorrect. I think they were alcohol related charges not drugs.
Another proud member of the National Felons League.
From a twitter account:
Aldon Smith has had tons of legal problems including multiple DUI and drug-related, assault weapons, vandalism, and domestic violence-related charges. But the Seattle Seahawks were desperate for a pass rusher
He was bad news for years. And from zerohedge where I picked up the article:
The following year, he was suspended by the league for nine games after violating NFL personal conduct and substance policies.
In 2015 there was more trouble as Smith saw the end of his 49ers days when they released him for being arrested on hit-and-run, DUI and vandalism charges.
After joining the Oakland Raiders, Smith lasted just a month before picking up a year ban for again falling foul of substance abuse rules.
Smith was dropped by the Raiders in 2018 for being picked up on domestic violence, assault and false imprisonment charges.
Pingy.....................
How can he be labeled a star when it appears that he has not been able to stay on the field for a complete season no matter where he hangs his jersey.
Had to look him up. Not surprised. Of course, wearing a low IQ expression.
Is he Amish?
Battery charge? Like 12V?
If he used a gun, he coulda been a shooting star.
Not even the 49ers could stomach this loser and cut him due to his off-the-field criminality. Surprised he is still around.
National Felon League.
