Officers from the Washington State Patrol said Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was argumentative and threatening during the course of his arrest Monday.
According to police documents obtained by TMZ Sports, police wrote they pulled Smith over because he was driving 36 mph over the speed limit. They also allege he was driving erratically and failed to signal before changing lanes.
One officer wrote that Smith said became agitated after he exited his vehicle and began performing field sobriety tests. Officers wrote that they stopped the tests and took Smith into custody, where he refused a breathalyzer and got angry when police attempted to have blood drawn, saying “I’ll f–k every one of y’all up.”
Per TMZ, officers wrote that Smith then threatened them:
“Another officer said Smith told them, ‘You don’t want to see me out of these cuffs, you don’t want to know what will happen.’
“Officers say they eventually had to put restraints on Smith’s arms and legs in order to take his blood … and claim the entire time Smith said, ‘That we were going to regret this and that we would all be famous for this.'”
Smith addressed the arrest on social media Monday night:
Geno @GenoSmith3
Being arrested brings a taint onto the reputation that is impossible to undo, no matter what really happened.<br>I’m asking all of you to hold back on judging me the same as you would do for a friend or family member.<br>I’ll have more to say down the road <br>& ask that you bare with me.
