A warrant has been issued for Seahawks defensive end Aldon Smith on the charge of second-degree battery after an incident in Chalmette, La., Saturday evening.
Travers Mackel of WDSU, a local television station, was the first to report that Smith was wanted on a second-degree battery charge in the New Orleans suburb of St. Bernard. The St. Bernard Parish district attorney, Perry Nicosia, confirmed the news to ESPN.
Nicosia told ESPN that Smith allegedly choked a victim to the point where they became unconscious.
The incident allegedly occurred at the French Press Coffee House in Chalmette.
