Smith has been embroiled with legal troubles throughout his career. Per ProFootball Talk:

Smith was arrested for DUI in 2012, faced weapons charges later that year after an incident at his house that left him with stab wounds and then picked up another DUI after getting into a car accident in September 2013. He entered a rehab facility after that accident and missed five games during the 2013 season.

We've reached out to Smith's agent and the 49ers for comment. The Santa Clara Police Department is expected to publish a press release this morning.
