Aldon Smith arrested for suspicion of DUI

One of the most talented pass-rushers in the NFL continues to have problems with all the stuff that isn’t football.

According to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com, 49ers outside linebacker Aldon Smith was arrested at 7 a.m. this morning on suspicion of DUI, according to the San Jose Police.

Smith was reportedly identified as the driver in a single-car wreck, though no one was injured.

That’s the good news. The bad news is Smith adds to a long list of off-field issues, which include being sued for an incident at his home that led to a shooting, as well as a previous DUI arrest in Miami Beach (the charges were reduced), being stabbed and being the passenger in a car which flipped trying to avoid a deer.

There’s been no word from the 49ers at this point as to whether he’ll play this week against the Colts, though that seems far down the list of priorities.

Two words come to mind: No sympathy.

That's what I was thinking.

Seriously though, no being a homer or anything, he's had multiple issues now. Shouldn't Goodell step in and do something by now? I would think a game suspension would be warranted. It seems like I've seen players get worse for less.

He should...... But with the whiners being one of the NFL's golden children they wont do anything to hurt them.

He blew a .15 and they also found weed and pills in the car, and he didn't have a prescriptioon for either. NFL players can't use weed regardless if they have a prescription or not due to their policy on Marijuana.

Whats that smell? is that...no it couldn't be....maybe it is....is that weed?

NOPE!!!! THATS A MULTI GAME SUSPENSION I SMELL ON THE HORIZON!!!

Idiot, even my Mizzou homerism can't defend that. The type of people who think they can do whatever they want and get behind the wheel when they're not fit to be are people who shouldn't be encouraged.

Have been reading the thread about this over at 49erswebzone, lots of comments. All of them think he is an idiot. This is my favorite quote from there-

Hey . . . maybe the Niners should have drafted the guy who I (and a bunch of others) had wanted: Robert Quinn. He seems to be lighting it up in St Loius . . and no off field issues we know of.

Wi the lawsuit against him for the shooting earlier in the year, which for some reason never saw charges filed, and this he will probably get 2-4 games. A second DUI, this one is a felony by the way, and he has to get at least two games right? Or is it four?

Anyone know the answer to this.......

Same here. Fuck you, Aldon. Thugs like you make me ashamed that you were once part of Mizzou.

I completely agree. Even the fact that I'm a Mizzou alum can't make me get over that

You sure it's a felony? Not defending the guy by any stretch - I just don't know at what point it becomes a felony.

I realize these guys are NFL darlings and all but he BETTER get smacked good THIS time.

Dude was on his way to the team facilities when this happened, great way to show up to work. harbaugh will either have no comment or defend this idiot vehemently. There is a reason they have been penalized 23 times already this year, no discipline.

Don't forget about the Brooks incident this summer. Brooks beat up a teammate with a beer bottle, apparently hitting the guy on the head three times, and there was no discipline from the team.

When our guys screw up, they get cut. Can't wait to see it all unwind for harbaugh.
