In May 2007, Jamar Smith was sentenced to two years of probation and two weeks in jail after pleading guilty to a felony charge of driving under the influence of alcohol causing great bodily harm.

URBANA – Prosecutors Tuesday moved to revoke the probation of University of Illinois basketball player Jamar Smith.

Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz told The News-Gazette the petition filed Tuesday alleges that Smith violated his probation by drinking alcohol over the weekend. A warrant for his arrest was issued Tuesday morning, and bond was set at $25,000.
