Troubled former 49ers and suspended Raiders linebacker Aldon Smith is being sought by San Francisco police after they said Sunday that he “fled the scene” where officers had responded to a domestic-violence complaint.

“Caller says her ex-boyfriend is beating her up….also hear: ‘No please. No please.’ … it’s an ongoing issue,” a San Francisco police dispatcher told officers around 8:30 p.m. Saturday. “The guy’s name is Aldon Smith.”

San Francisco police said the victim had non-life-threatening injuries.

“The suspect fled the scene prior to police arrival and was identified as professional football player Aldon Smith, a 28-year-old Oakland resident,” San Francisco police said. Officers arrived around 8:30 p.m. Saturday to a residence in the 600 block of Bush Street in San Francisco after receiving the report of a domestic-violence incident.

The victim called police again, saying Smith bit her wrists and climbed out her window, possibly fleeing in a black Range Rover, according to dispatch audio reviewed by this news agency.

The dispatcher said Smith was wearing a black 49ers sweatshirt and grey sweatpants.

Minutes later, a San Francisco dispatcher says Smith had drank two bottles of tequila and was possibly heading back to his Oakland residence in his Range Rover. San Francisco officers planned to ask Oakland police for assistance.

Around 7 p.m. Sunday, Smith posted a cryptic photo to his Instagram account, saying: “Wtfoh you all are wrong.” The photo is of a black pavement pathway. It’s unclear where the photo was taken.

The Twitter-verse had exploded Sunday morning after a tweet reported that Smith was on the run.

“#BREAKING: Sources telling me Aldon Smith was involved in a domestic violence incident last night/early this morning, and then fled the scene,” a tweet from Ted Ramey’s Twitter feed @TedRameyMedia read. “More info as I find out.”

The San Francisco police statement ended by asking Smith to reach out to investigators with the department’s special-victims unit at its 24-hour operations center at 415-575-4444. Anyone with information on Smith may also call the number or text-a-tip to TIP411 and begin a text message with “SFPD.”

Smith has a lengthy rap sheet. He agreed to plead no-contest to a hit-and-run charge surrounding an Aug. 6, 2015, incident and was sentenced to 20 days in jail. Prosecutors agreed to charges that Smith drove under the influence in that incident. He also was ordered to attend a treatment facility, undergo anger management classes and was forbidden to go to bars.

On April 13, 2014, police arrested Smith on suspicion of making false bomb threats at Los Angeles International Airport, but the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office did not file charges.

Smith turned himself in on Oct. 29, 2013, on three felony counts of possessing illegal assault weapons after a stabbing incident. The charges later were reduced to misdemeanors. Only six weeks before that, Smith crashed a car into a tree in San Jose and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of DUI and possession of marijuana.

The Raiders need to end the charade and cut Aldon Smith

His first arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence came on Jan. 27, 2012, in Miami Beach. He qualified for a diversion program for first-time offenders, and prosecutors reduced the charges to reckless driving.

Smith, who is listed as a linebacker on the Raiders roster but often lines up as a defensive end, was cut by the 49ers after the August 2015 arrest. He had entered a rehabilitation facility after the San Jose crash in 2013, then later served a nine-game suspension from the NFL during the 2014 season.

The Raiders signed Smith to a one-year contract in 2015, but he was again suspended by the league midway through the 2015 season. He applied for reinstatement from the league in 2016, but has still not been allowed to play.
