Exclusive | Geno Smith had contentious encounter with police three months before alleged battery incident: Do your job better

Geno Smith interacted with the Davie Police Department three months before it formally investigated him for battery, and the encounter wasn’t exactly pleasant.On a rainy March 18 afternoon, the Jets quarterback was pulled over by a Davie PD officer on a roadway in Davie, Fla.after he had allegedly been driving a Rolls Royce with improper tags.
