MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Miami Beach police say a New York Knicks player has been arrested on a bench warrant for not having a valid driver’s license.
Sgt. Bobby Hernandez says J.R. Smith, 26, was stopped Thursday night on Washington Avenue in South Beach. A routine search revealed the bench warrant, and he was arrested.
Hernandez says Smith was taken to the Miami-Dade County jail, where he bonded out early Friday.
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.
