I side with JR on this one.
If I politely ask you not to take a photo, please respect my wishes, I hope he isn’t charged with anything.
The NYPD is investigating J.R. Smith for allegedly stealing a cell phone from a fan and throwing into a construction site … TMZ Sports has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us … they got a call around 2:30 AM on Sunday morning from a guy who says he tried to take a picture with the Cleveland Cavs star outside of The Park, a hotspot in Chelsea.
Smith allegedly turned the fan down — telling him no photos — but he snapped one anyway … and Smith snapped too.
We’re told … Smith allegedly approached the fan and snatched the phone out of his hand and then launched it into a nearby construction zone. The fan claims his $800 phone was damaged and he has filed a report with police.
Hope the fan has insurance, but next time just don’t take the pic.
Flip the page for tweets showing the fan being a groupie.
