J.R. Smith Fined For Throwing Fan's Phone Into Construction Site
J.R. Smith turned himself in to police in August after a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief after he threw a fan's phone into a construction site after he refused to stop taking pics of the NBA player.
According to Smith's lawyer Alex Spiro on Wednesday, prosecutor John Johnsen agreed to have Smith pay a $600 penalty to the fan. "We have reached dismissal in Cellphone-gate," Spiro laughed.
On July 26, the 20-year-old Pennsylvania man attempted to grab a pic of the wingman as he was leaving a restaurant. Smith asked the man to stop taking pictures, but the man ignored him so Smith grabbed the phone out of his hands and tossed it.
