Courtney Smith Discusses Details of 2015 Assault Report Against Zach Smith

Courtney Smith confirmed details Wednesday from a domestic assault report she filed against her then-estranged husband—Zach Smith, who was Ohio State's wide receivers coach at the time—in 2015.

The Columbus Dispatch acquired the police report from an anonymous sender.

Smith confirmed to ESPN's Dan Murphy that she told Powell, Ohio, police that she feared for her life on Oct. 26, 2015, after her husband pushed her against a wall at her condominium and took their young son against her wishes.

Zach Smith was fired in July after Courtney Smith filed a domestic violence civil protection order against him and previous allegations came to light.
