An arrest warrant has been issued for Illinois basketball player Jamar Smith after prosecutors filed paperwork to revoke his probation for allegedly drinking alcohol.
The 21-year-old Peoria man is serving two years of probation after pleading guilty last year to felony driving under the influence causing great bodily harm. He drove a car into a tree in February 2007, injuring former teammate Brian Carlwell.
Champaign County State’s Attorney Julia Rietz says the warrant was issued after police investigated an incident outside a campus bar called Fubar. Details weren’t immediately available.
Smith is a junior guard who sat out last season after his guilty plea.
