CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Illinois basketball player Jamar Smith — charged with drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident — will surrender to police after a warrant was issued for his arrest, his attorney said Wednesday.
The accident left teammate Brian Carlwell hospitalized with a severe concussion, and Smith is sitting out the rest of the season.
Defense attorney Mark D. Lipton said Smith plans to plead not guilty to the charges and will request a jury trial.
