Caspar Smart Charges Include Drag Racing and Multiple Traffic Violations

Casper Smart is facing charges for street racing and a string of traffic offenses from a number of years back that can send him to prison for up to 90 days.

The dancer, who is reported to be in a relationship with Jennifer Lopez, was charged a couple of weeks ago for the violations, and news reports also said he was pulled over for driving his motorbike over 100 m.p.h. He was also found guilty of driving without a license and several other high-speed violations over numerous years.

Smart’s most serious offense came on February 2010, according to the National Ledger. The incident is currently causing the dancer to face jail time.

He was pulled over by officers for an “exhibition of speed,” which is also known as drag racing and is a highly dangerous contest. It has not been reported whether there were any damages resulting from Smart’s driving, but being charged with the crime alone is enough to get him in trouble.

The 24-year-old entertainer, whose real name is Beau Paul Smart, is going to have to appear before court at the beginning of the year, but will have to complete 10 days of community service before Jan. 5. Furthermore, he may have to pay $500 in charges, and could have to spend three months in jail.

The short-term sentence is helped by the fact that his crimes have not been too serious so far, but he will certainly need to clean his record, which also reveals charges from 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, according to AZ Central.

It will be interesting to see if 42-year-old singer Lopez, who is nearly 18 years his senior, will stand by his side or even continue the relationship after these numerous legal bouts with traffic violations. A source shared with the popular website that the couple's flirting is dwindling and they have not yet developed a serious relationship.

"They are dating and having a good time. It's a fun fling. It's not meant to turn into anything more," said the source.
