The off-field saga involving New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith is officially over.
The case derives from an incident that occurred at his home in Broward County, Florida, on June 21, involving a woman who accused him of battery.
According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, “The investigation has concluded, and no charges are being brought. Future investigative action is contingent on additional information or evidence being brought forward, per a police spokesperson.
“No further investigative steps can be reasonably taken with the information presently available,” per the investigator’s report.
Smith has had multiple run-ins with law enforcement since returning to the Jets for a second stint. After being pulled over in March, days after being acquired by the Jets, he told an officer to “do his job better.”
In June, officers were called to his house to investigate battery, a case that is now closed. Last week, he was pulled over again for speeding and was unable to present his license during the traffic stop.
Ultimately, though, this is good news for Smith and the Jets as he is no longer under investigation and no charges will be pressed. Getting pulled over isn’t a crime or a misdemeanor; it’s just a traffic citation that can be paid without even appearing in court.
As a veteran, the 35-year-old quarterback will report to Florham Park, N.J., for training camp by July 28 before the team’s practices begin the day after.
While the battery accusations became viral on social media, the Davie Police Department has concluded its investigation without bringing charges against New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith.
