CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith was arrested Friday in New York City after being accused of breaking someone's phone as they tried to snap a photo of him outside a Manhattan nightclub, New York City police say.

Smith, whose real name is Earl Joseph Smith, was issued what New York police call a "desk appearance" to appear in court sometime in September, according to New York City police spokeswoman Det. Sophia Mason.

The incident happened July 29 in front of the The Park restaurant in the Chelsea neighborhood, Mason said. Someone tried to take a photo of Smith, 32, as he walked out of the restaurant, Mason said.

Smith grabbed the person's phone and threw it, breaking the phone, Mason said.

He was charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief.

Cavs spokesman Ted Carper said in an email that the team is aware of the incident and Smith's personal attorney is handling the court case.

Smith had a run-in with police in September 2017 in Bay Village. In that case, he drove recklessly in his 2016 Dodge Charger about 1:20 a.m. on Lake Road. Westlake police spotted the car speeding along Interstate 90 and notified Bay Village police.

Bay Village police tried to stop his car and Smith pulled into a neighbor's driveway, police reports say.

He pleaded guilty to willful and wanton disregard of safety and was fined $150.
