JR Smith Reportedly Turns Himself in to Police, Charged with Criminal Mischief

Adam WellsAug 31, 2018

Cleveland Cavaliers guard JR Smith has reportedly turned himself in to police in New York for a July incident involving a cellphone. 

On Friday, TMZ Sports reported Smith was charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief for allegedly throwing a cellphone he stole from a fan near The Park in Chelsea. 

At the beginning of August, TMZ reported Smith was being investigated for a July 29 incident in which he was accused of stealing a cellphone from a fan, who was trying to get a picture with the Cavs star, and throwing it into a construction site. 

"This is nonsense, and we aren't responding to nonsense," Smith's attorney, Alex Spiro, said. "He was issued a ticket." 

Smith will appear in court at an unspecified date to resolve the situation.
