Former Ohio State Receiver Corey Smith Jr. Arrested For Aggravated Robbery Warrant and Firing Shots

Former Ohio State receiver Corey Smith Jr. was arrested on Saturday for several warrants, including aggravated robbery in Akron, as well as firing shots.

Columbus Police investigated the area of 1727 Cordell Ave. on Saturday morning, conducting a ShotSpotter follow-up, according to the CPD Facebook page. ShotSpotter is "an advanced system of sensors, algorithms and artificial intelligence to detect, locate and alert police to gunfire."

According to the Columbus Police Department, Smith claimed to know nothing about shots being fired, but officers found shell casings behind 1731 E. 26th Ave. and an investigation led them back to the address where officers learned there was a party the night before.
