Aldon Smith Checked into Rehab After Domestic Violence Incident

NFL linebacker Aldon Smith has checked into a rehabilitation facility for substance abuse days after being allegedly involved in a domestic violence incident.

"I can tell you this...Aldon called my parents and asked them to take him to rehab," the woman involved in the alleged incident told TMZ Sports. "He complied. They went and got him. I was not there. My family took him and had him checked in.

"I wish the best for Aldon. And I'm scared for his life with his addiction. I cannot comment on the altercation but I can tell you I love him and so happy he turned to my family who considers him family and hopefully he gets the help he truly needs."

Smith, 28, was wanted by police Saturday after being involved in a reported act of domestic violence. Police said he fled the scene before they arrived and were looking for his whereabouts this weekend.

The former Pro Bowler is listed on the Oakland Raiders roster as part of the reserve/suspended by commissioner list. Smith has missed the entire 2016 and 2017 seasons after being arrested in 2015 on hit-and-run and driving under the influence charges.

Last September, Smith pleaded guilty to the hit-and-run charges in exchange for having the DUI charge dropped. He was forced to undergo treatment for substance abuse as part of the plea deal.
