But the Santa Clara Police Department said information about his arrest would be released later Friday.

Why did Jim Tomsula, and not Trent Baalke, step to the podium to announce Aldon Smith’s release on Friday?
“This wasn’t a DUI”.
“Yeah, I heard about it”, Miller said of Smith’s release. “I’m sorry for anybody I let down, I’m sorry for the way this whole thing… It will work out how it is supposed to work out”.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith warms up before a game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons in San Francisco, Monday, December 23, 2013.
If the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office files charges against Smith, he will be set for arraignment on October 6, Clarke said. Hopefully if another team were to sign him, maybe, just maybe Smith will get his act together and put on a show for the fans who attend games, not the police. Smith was arrested in San Jose, Calif., in September 2013 on suspicion of driving under the influence and possessing marijuana. I didn’t get help until after I was done with football. Go get it. Youre worth it. Theres value in every human being. Although Aldon will not be playing football for the 49ers the team will absolutely be supporting him.
On January 2012: Smith was arrested on suspicion of DUI, a charge that was later reduced to reckless driving.
In spring 2014, the 49ers exercised their 2015 option for Smith, but Baalke made it clear there would be no nonsense regarding his off-field issues.
The 49ers are expected to release troubled linebacker Aldon Smith after his fifth arrest since 2012, according to several media outlets.

He had a base salary of $1 million, then roster bonuses each month that could take him to an additional $3,354,875. It was reported, Smith became belligerent and uncooperative with TSA and the check-in process, indicating he had a bomb before heading to his gate area. He recorded 14 sacks in his rookie season and 19.5 sacks in his second year, but had just two sacks in seven games last season. This fraternity needs to be turned from the inside to the outside, because (young players) have no clue. Torrey played with the Baltimore Ravens throughout his first four seasons and got to win a Super Bowl (ironically against the 49ers) alongside defensive players such as Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Haloti Ngata and Terrell Suggs. I think he can.
