[...] Still, at least he's out. Another ex-Bulls forward isn't. Arizona graduate Tommy Smith was arrested on multiple charges in January 2009 after allegedly punching his girlfriend when leaving a party, breaking her nose, driving her away against her will, taking her phone off her and abandoning her at the roadside by a lake. He later came back for her and took her to hospital, but she pressed charges anyway. In December, he pleaded guilty to the charge of aggravated assault and was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, credited with 173 days of time already served. Assuming he too is denied an early release, Smith will remain in prison for another 18 months. He will be 31 by the time he gets out.

- Tommy Smith
The last newsworthy thing that former Bulls forward Tommy Smith did was get arrested for kidnapping.
Smith signed with Liaoning in China in November 2008, but played in only two games (totalling 2 points and 12 rebounds) before being released. A couple of months after he came back to America, Smith was arrested on multiple charges after allegedly punching his girlfriend when leaving a party, breaking her nose, driving her away, taking her phone off her and abandoning her at the roadside by a lake. He later came back for her and took her to hospital, but she pressed charges anyway.
Smith's basketball career has not existed since that time. In December, he pleaded guilty to the charge of aggravated assault and was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, credited with 173 days of time already served.
