Earlier today, we brought you the story of Saints Defensive End Will Smith being arrested on domestic battery of his wife Racquel Smith.
According to the police, Will Smith pulled his wife’s hair during an altercation at the club.
Mrs. Smith has went to twitter to say it was all a big misunderstanding.
Who am I to say that she isn’t telling the truth? But the facts are, a patrolman witnessed the incident and I don’t think he has any reason to lie.
It is clear while it wasn’t an Ike Turner style incident, Will Smith went a little over the top during their argument. Did he need to be arrested? Well that is debatable— but he wouldn’t have had to worry about that if he didn’t grab her by her hair.
There was no need for that. You can argue without getting physical, and if he is pulling her hair in public, what is going on in private?
The point is this: Will Smith isn’t being railroaded and the patrolman did the right thing. Better to be safe that sorry.
