FWIW, Smith’s lawyer released a statement to media alleging that Courtney refused to drop off the kids any Zach’s the night before according to their custody agreement, so he tried to pick them up from school instead... Since Courtney was also present to stop him, he was in violation of the civil protection order.

 

Same old, same old. Absolutely malicious move by his ex-wife to have Zach arrested at their kids' school when he was there to pick  up. She's in contempt of court for not giving him the kids last night which she was supposed to. Just very sad for the children. 100% avoidable by both of them.

Zach is a twerp but this petty BS by the ex wife disgusts me. There's just no reason to allow your children to have that image of their dad unless he's actually like a criminal or something. That's something that kids don't forget.

While what his ex wife did is illegal I think I would do the same thing if I was in her shoes.  If I was a woman and my husband beat me like that I wouldn't want my kids around him at all and I'd make it super difficult for him to get in contact with them, legal or not.  As far as I'm concerned he lost the privilege of seeing his kids when he beat the hell out of his wife.

Hijacking with apologies, since I have no other path to posting.   Wondering what the thoughts are on the dumpster fire that is blowing smoke in Tallahassee.  Florida 5 star enrollee Chris Steele has entered the transfer portal even though he was a projected starter as a freshman.   He requested to not be a roommate of the QB, and shortly after that  the QB allegedly sexually assaults a coed.  Is this kid going to end up at OK or Oregon?  If worth discussing could someone post it?

That’s generally what happens when you break the law while not employed by THE Ohio State University.

That's why he figured he would show up to the school wearing an OSU shirt. It didn't work.

 

Even if his wife refused to give him the kids last night, there are legitimate ways to deal with that. This dumb ass found out that this isn't the way. Next time, contact your lawyer. It's funny how now he wants to be a responsible parent.

Maybe this forum should just move on from Mr. Smith. 

 I hope we beat OSU every year in every sport.

 But this seems wrong.

First, he is a disgusting douche, no other qualifiers needed.   

I’m seeing reports that, if you take out his former employer, there may be more to the story.   There are reports that he was supposed to get his kids last night and his ex wouldn’t give them to him.  As a result he went to pick them up from school today.  The ex wife was at the school when he arrived = violation of the protective order.   As previously stated he is a total scumbag but wait for the full story. Her won’t be any less of a scumbag but he may not be the only one at fault.....then again maybe those reports are wrong, we will know soon enough.

This kind of thing is horrible for the kids-- who are quite often watching as all of this unfolds.  It's also pretty upsetting for the school staff.  This guy is a train wreck.

Everybody is ready to crucify him but what about the school staff. Are you all so ignorant that you can’t see the other side of this. Clearly smith is innocent. My buddy that still goes to school there told me that they’re all ichigan fans. I guess that’s why he’s never graduated. 

Edit: I thought I was being so clever, but clearly I wasn't. For you N*ggers this was my attempt to act like an OSU fan, with an OSU buddy that can't even graduate from elementary school. Damn, I thought it was gold. Oh well, at least I enjoyed it.

The world: Urban Meyer actively helped perpetuate domestic violence, and it's unacceptable. 

You: Urban Meyer beat Michigan at football!

...

That tells us all we need to know about your priorities, though we already knew.

He's wearing an OSU shirt in the mugshots. Granted, it's probably extremely common for OSU shirts to be worn in mugshots, but it's a little more noteworthy in this case.
