URBANA – If Jamar Smith's probation is revoked, it doesn't mean he'll be going to jail.
Smith, a 21-year-old University of Illinois basketball player from Peoria, was due to appear in court Wednesday. He turned himself in to the Champaign County jail Tuesday afternoon on a warrant for his arrest, stemming from a petition to revoke his probation. Smith was released after posting bail on $25,000 bond.
Smith is accused of violating his probation by drinking alcohol on Friday.
