A battery investigation involving former Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith has been marked as inactive, according to a spokesperson from the local Florida police department that was handling the case.
Documents released Tuesday by the Davie Police Department state the officer who responded to the June 21 call was “unable to determine the primary aggressor in the physical altercation” due to conflicting accounts, limited video footage and lack of eyewitnesses. When a follow up investigation was opened, neither Smith nor the woman provided a statement under oath, prompting the police to mark the case as inactive on July 10.
Smith declined to comment. Smith’s lawyer and the woman did not respond to The Seattle Times’ inquiries.
Smith and the woman named in the report had injuries that were documented by the responding officer, according to the report. The officer noted the woman had a small cut on her right hand and a bruise on her left arm, the latter appeared to be from being grabbed. Smith had two scratches on the right side of his face and a knot on his head.
The woman is employed by Smith as a full-time manager whose responsibilities sometimes include taking care of Smith’s child. She told police that she was in a relationship with Smith 20 years ago when they were in high school. Smith and the woman are not in an exclusive relationship, don’t have children together and don’t live together, according to the report. Smith told the officer they “occasionally engage in casual sex.”
Smith was the Seahawks’ starting quarterback for three seasons. He was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in March 2025 and acquired by the New York Jets this year. He is expected to be their starting quarterback this upcoming season. The 35-year-old is a Florida native. The address that officers responded to in June is located in the same county as the high school that Smith attended.
A viral video showing an argument, with text on top alleging Smith had physically assaulted the woman who was recording, brought public attention to the allegations against Smith.
The officer who spoke to both parties on June 21 said Smith’s account “greatly deviated” from the woman’s. The argument began after the woman arrived at and entered Smith’s house to drop his son off, according to the report. Smith said she had not been invited inside and was supposed to drop the child off with his grandmother at the gated entrance of the community. The woman told police that she brought the child to the door after Smith abruptly called her and demanded she bring the child home “or else he will call the police to report her for kidnapping.”
In the report, both alleged that the other person attempted to steal personal property and physically assaulted them during the altercation that took place inside the house and on the property. Smith admitted to taking the woman’s laptop from her car as “collateral” after he thought she had stolen from him. In response, the woman re-entered the house and attempted to take what Smith said was “approximately $20 million worth of designer watches and jewelry.” Smith told the officer he was able to reclaim those items.
Smith told the officer he didn’t know how to get footage off his security cameras around the property. He did provide footage from his Ring camera that “did not show any physical altercation occur between the two,” according to the report.
Police followed up in the days after to request statements under oath from Smith and the woman. The woman agreed, but did not show up to the police station on June 24 as planned. On July 7, she said she would come in two days later, but she didn’t show up on July 9. Smith’s lawyer told the police department he did not intend to make a statement.
“No further investigative steps can be reasonably taken with the information presently available,” the investigator wrote.
