Former NBA champion JR Smith was arrested Monday in Texas on a charge of assault causing "bodily injury family violence," according to jail records. Smith, 41, was booked into Hunt County Detention Center after being arrested by the Royse City Police Department. No bond has been set, and Smith remained in jail as of midday Tuesday.

Smith's representatives did not respond to ESPN's request for comment. The Royse City Police Department received an alert indicating the Southlake Police Department had issued a warrant for Smith. Officers spotted Smith's license plate on Interstate 30, northeast of Dallas, and arrested him. Smith was driving with his brother, who was released with the car.

Southlake police called Smith's arrest part of an "ongoing investigation" and declined further comment. Smith will be arraigned in Tarrant County. In 2009, Smith was sentenced to 90 days in jail, with 60 days suspended, and 500 hours of community service for reckless driving after a fatal accident.

Smith played 16 NBA seasons with teams including the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers. He last played in 2020 with the Lakers, averaging 12.4 points per game in his career. He won two NBA championships and was named Sixth Man of the Year in 2013.
