Smoot, 35, was accused of grabbing his former live-in
girlfriend, Valerie Jackson, during an altercation at a home in
Ashburn, Virginia, in November.
Smoot was found not guilty by a judge after a non-jury trial in
Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, the Loudoun County
Commonwealth's Attorney's office said.
A nine-year NFL veteran, Smoot played seven years with the
Washington Redskins and two with the Minnesota Vikings before
retiring after the 2009 season.
