Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Za'Darius Smith has been cited for speeding and possession of marijuana or synthetic marijuana, according to documents filed in Wisconsin Circuit Court in Racine.
The violations occurred on Sept. 29, according to the documents, and a hearing date is scheduled for Thursday. The charges are not criminal charges, and Smith is not required to attend the hearing.
"The Packers are aware of the matter involving Za'Darius Smith," the team said in a statement. "We will refrain from making any further comment as it is a legal matter."
Smith, who signed a four-year, $66 million free-agent contract in the offseason, leads the Packers with eight sacks this season.
