Miami Beach police say New York Knicks guard J.R. Smith has been arrested on a bench warrant for not having a valid driver's license. Sgt. Bobby Hernandez says Smith, 26, was stopped Thursday night on Washington Avenue in South Beach. A routine search revealed the bench warrant and he was arrested. Details were not immediately available on what led police to stop Smith around 8:30 p.m.
Hernandez says Smith was taken to the Miami-Dade County jail, where officials say he bonded out early Friday. No attorney was listed on jail records for Smith, whose legal name is Earl Joseph Smith. Smith was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets in 2004. He played in China during the NBA lockout last fall and played for the New York Knicks in 2012.
