Tennessee's Josh Smith was arrested Saturday morning for domestic assault after an alleged fight with his roommate, according to a police report obtained by ABC-6 in Knoxville.

The Volunteers receiver allegedly broke down the door to his roommate Kennedy Foster's bedroom and a fight ensued. The police report says both men involved in the incident had been drinking, and Foster could not remember how many times he was hit by Smith.

Smith was taken into custody and is being held at a local detention center on $2,000 bond.

The team has yet to announce any further discipline for Smith, but assistant athletic director Tom Satkowiak told ABC-6, "we are aware of the situation involving Josh Smith and we'll have no further comment at this time."

Smith appeared in 11 games for Tennessee last season, finishing with 13 catches for 97 yards and a touchdown.
