Celebrity Justice
NFL Legend Bruce Smith Sacked for DUI

Another Buffalo Bill in trouble with the law ... this time it's one of the greatest players of all time.

NFL Hall of Famer Bruce Smith was arrested on DUI charges in Virginia Beach this morning after cops say the former defensive superstar was speeding around 1:42 am.

According to celebrity gossip wire Associated Press, a police spokesman says Smith was also charged with refusing to take a breathalyzer test at the scene.

Smith-- football's all time leading sack leader -- was released a few hours later after posting bond.

Smith was arrested for DUI twice before -- but the case #1 was dismissed and in case #2, Bruce was acquitted.

4. Bruce is always speeding around town in his black sports car, I knew that would happen again. Why do people drink and drive?? With all your moola Bruce why didn't you hire a driver?

5. What a disgrace to the Western NY community. What is up with the Buffalo Bills drinking, driving, hit and runs??? Why won't they get suspended for their crimes?? I wouldn't want my kids to look up to these idiots as role models.

I hope he goes to jail. If it were any of us common folk, we'd be in the slammer for sure.

8. Guess he and his didnt get the memo about drunk drivers killing innocent people...maybe his handlers should read it to him and save him not just his good name in public, but possibly innocent people.

This is an outrage and no Fan should ever look to him as anything other than what he truly has become----a Drunk who also Drives.

Selfish Prriick, I hope he hurts himself and not others. btw, he looks as butt ugly in that mug shot as they make them. Thug like too, type none of you would want coming to your house. UG as in Lee.

10. all you making assumptions when not knowing the facts. So what, he was arrested for DUI. Has he been convicted? No, you need proof beyond a reasonable doubt, and without knowing all the facts, who are you to judge. And to comment on his race or how "ugly" his mugshot is, how immature, To bad people cant be arrested for being ignorant. Go Bruce, much respect and beat that charge.
