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

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.
