-- Alabama sophomore cornerback

Geno Smith

was arrested for driving under the influence and booked by the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office early Sunday morning,

.

Bond was set at $1,000, according to the website. As of 11 a.m., Smith was still listed as an inmate at Tuscaloosa County Jail, but was no longer listed at 7:45 p.m.

"This is obviously not the kind of behavior we expect from our players," Alabama coach

Nick Saban

said in a university statement. "I don't have all of the details at this point and will handle it appropriately once I've had a chance to review the information."

A University of Alabama spokesperson could not provide any additional information on Smith's arrest. No report has been made available.

Smith emerged as a regular contributor in Alabama's secondary during his freshman campaign and was in line for significant snaps at the Crimson Tide's "Star" position in nickel defense situations. In 13 games, the Atlanta native had nine tackles, two pass breakups and two passes defended.

In an early August interview, senior cornerback

Deion Belue

raved about Smith's improvement.

"He's getting better and better. Even practice, he's picking it up," Belue said. "He's learning even more. It's starting to become easier for him. You can see it now, he's not thinking as much. He's just playing."

Smith is the first Alabama player to be arrested since February, when four players --

D.J. Pettway

,

Eddie Williams

,

Tyler Hayes

and

Brent Calloway

-- were involved in multiple incidents of second-degree robbery and credit card fraud. All four players were initially suspended and eventually dismissed from the team.
