Days before Christmas, Casper Smart, the ex-boyfriend of Jennifer Lopez, apparently had several run-ins with the law. After getting a tip that the dancer-actor was growing marijuana at his home in Los Angeles, police knocked on his door just before nine in the morning on December 23. Law enforcement sources responded swiftly to the tip on the marijuana grow facility, according to TMZ’s article from December 30.
Casper Smart’s LA home is the location of a cannabis grow business. They raided Smart’s home after obtaining a search warrant. Lopez’s “Dance Again” music video star Smart and a woman were in the house when the desperate search took place. In the end, the officers’ information was reliable because the search revealed a small-to-medium-sized cannabis grow operation there. Casper was cited and released at the scene in spite of the findings. The case will soon be picked up by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, which would then make the decision on Smart and possibly file charges.
A look back at Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart’s relationship reveals that the two began dating in 2011, following Lopez’s divorce from Marc Anthony. Their relationship was on and off for five years, with a source revealing that their split in 2016 was amicable and not caused by any major drama. Initially, their relationship was thought to be a casual fling, but it later turned into a more serious, long-term romance. In 2012, Smart spoke publicly about their bond, emphasizing how they both avoided Hollywood’s chaotic lifestyle and its pitfalls. However, rumours later surfaced suggesting their breakup was due to Smart’s infidelity, which led to their separation.
