NEW ORLEANS (AP) -New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith was arrested in Louisiana after he was accused of grabbing his wife’s hair and pulling her down the street.
Police in Lafayette, which is about 50 miles west of Baton Rouge, say Smith and his wife had gotten into an argument just after 2 a.m. Saturday while leaving a nightclub. Police Cpl. Paul Mouton said in a press release that officers on patrol saw the argument escalate, and then saw Smith grab the woman’s hair.
Mouton says the woman’s injuries were minor. Smith has been charged with domestic abuse and simple battery.
Greg Bensil, the director of media relations for the Saints, did not immediately return phone and e-mail messages.
