49ers linebacker Aldon Smith arrested in California

SANTA CLARA, Calif. • Police in Northern California have arrested former Mizzou standout and current San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith and accused him of hit and run, drunken driving and vandalism.

The details of Smith's arrest Thursday by Santa Clara police were not immediately available.

Police report Friday that he was booked into the Santa Clara County Jail and remains there on $26,000 bail.

Smith was arrested two years ago on drunken driving charges. He missed five games in 2013 after that arrest and went into a substance abuse rehabilitation clinic.

Last fall, Smith received a nine-game suspension for what the league called violations of its substance-abuse and personal-conduct policies.
