San Francisco 49’ers Aldon Smith learned a hard lesson on Sunday. Don’t say the word “bomb” to TSA officials when you’re randomly selected for a second screening. Smith was in Terminal 1 of LAX – where SouthWest Airlines flies out of – when the altercation happened. Check the details via an eyewitness.
Of course there’s video of the altercation:
Smith has had several run ins with Law enforcement over the last few years:
Following his breakout rookie season, Smith was arrested in Miami Beach in January 2012 for suspicion of drunken driving, a charge that was reduced to reckless driving.
Did I mention he’s also the Niners best pass rusher?
The Niners have released a statement:
“We are disappointed to learn of the incident today involving Aldon Smith,” 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. “As this is a pending legal matter and we are still gathering the pertinent facts, we will have no further comment.”
Rough week for the Niners. This comes on the heels of the confusing investigation involving Colin Kaepernick in Miami.
