JR Smith Tears Women's Dress

The Bulls don't look so bad anymore.</p>

I don't think the Nuggets could get 1 second rounder for him now.</p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The woman who accused Denver Nuggets guard J.R. Smith of assaulting her at a nightclub said she tried to file a police report but was warned by an officer to leave before someone shot her.</p>

The 22-year-old Englewood woman and two girlfriends drove to downtown police headquarters to file a complaint and written statements after the Oct. 13 closing-time fracas at Denver's DC10 club, 940 Lincoln St.</p>

"The police at the scene told us to leave before we got shot at by the other party," the woman wrote in her statement.</p>

The woman's attorney, Fred Bibik, said his client and her friends were hustled into their car by club security guards after Smith allegedly twice spit in the woman's face and grabbed her, tearing her dress.</p>

The woman said she told a Denver police officer wearing a "beanie" knit cap at the nightclub that she wanted to file a police report.</p>

The officer replied, "You guys got to get out of here or somebody might get shot," said Bibik, speaking on his client's behalf.</p>

A friend of the woman also said in her statement that police urged them to leave. "We were then pushed into our car and told to leave by the police."</p>

Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said it will be difficult to confirm the woman's account if she can't supply an officer's name or badge number.</p>

"She needs to give us something to go on," he said.</p>

Police could not immediately determine if an off-duty police officer might have been working as a paid security guard for the club.</p>

Meanwhile, Smith's attorney entered a not guilty plea for his client Monday and questioned the credibility of the woman's allegations.</p>

"J.R. Smith, as is true of all professional athletes, is a prime target for people to make false allegations against," said defense attorney David Lane.</p>

Lane said someone was throwing bottles at the Nugget's player when he exited the club and "J.R. Smith used admirable restraint in dealing with this situation."</p>

The three women give a different account.</p>

Smith doused them with Moet champagne as they danced at the club, according to their police statements.</p>

As the club let out, Smith briefly apologized to the women outside, but his mood changed when his friends walked up, according to the Englewood woman's and a friend's statements.</p>

"He started cussing and spit on me," the woman wrote in her statement. "(He) then proceeded to tell my friend ... that he was going to beat her up. As I'm trying to settle both parties down, J.R. spits in my face again, grabs me and rips my dress."</p>

As the women spoke to an officer at police headquarters about 3:30 a.m., a private car arrived carrying Smith, according to Bibik and the police report.</p>

The 22-year-old basketball player told the officer "he was very (drunk and) doesn't remember everything" that happened at the club, according to the police report.</p>

Neither police nor his attorney could explain how Smith happened to arrive at police headquarters almost two hours after the nightclub disturbance and as his accusers gave their statements.</p>

Smith was charged under his legal name, Earl J. Smith III, with assault, destruction of property and disturbing the peace.</p>

"He got a ticket. It would be the equivalent of disorderly conduct," Lane said.</p>

Smith has a Dec. 4 court date and Lane said he plans to seek a possible settlement of the charges with the City Attorney's Office by then.</p>

If even half of this is true, it shows that J.R. ishurting. He takes his frustrations out in bizarre and maybe illegal ways, and hiscognitive state sometimes causes damage to hisgame. At least somebody finally istrying to stick up for him, his lawyer. But if your lawyer is the only guy you have sticking up for you, you are in a big hole.</p>

I probably will post a thread on this J.R. fiasco.</p>

 

JR is a role model to all.</p>

 

Maybe he was just trying to make a statement about how bad her dress was... the police telling her to leave or she may get shot sounds completely fishy to me.</p>

</p>

 

Maybe it is the standard way of saying hello in colorado. groping another's crotch is the NJ custom.</p>

 

This dude needs to grow up, he should have gone to college and matured. The age limit don't look bad</p>

 

Scum lawyer that tries to defend this prick sounds like judges in Vermont that let pedophiles off easy, completely full of garbage andcommon senseretarded. </p>

Im not even sure college would have helped him. I once had JR Smith in my top favorite players but after seeing his poor attitude and work ethic and absolutely positively lackluster defense I had to let him go. Im glad the Hornets got rid of him...his talent is among the best but his mind is out there somewhere.</p>

I often wonder what players with that sort of talent are thinking sometimes. I would have given almost anything to have 1/10th of his ability back in my playing days.</p>

Not in Denver...Darrent Williams, Joey Porter...</p>

 

And college wouldn't have helped him unless he went to a Duke or somewhere with a strong coach...him going on some campus and becoming a god would've made his attitude even worse, that's where I don't get this "go to college and mature thing"...yeah, you learn to live without your parents, but college athletes are royalty.</p>
