Mofo will steal your stilettos. FOR REALZ.

File under "extraordinarily petty acts via which to endanger your football career":
According to Madison Police Department spokesman Joel DeSpain, sometime after midnight Saturday, Smith and his girlfriend got into a dispute over how much money she owed him for cab fare -- he said $10, she claimed she owed him $5.
Said dispute careened from apartment from which girlfriend was not permitted to leave -- "false imprisonment" charge -- to gas station at which girlfriend was to make change from a twenty and was shoved to the ground -- "battery" charge -- by Smith, who took the twenty -- "robbery" charge -- and her shoes -- "robbery" again --

Wait. Shoes? WTF? Lance Smith stole his girlfriend's shoes? I... wow. Imaginations run wild in this fertile soil.

Anyway, standard stuff: Smith is fat Wisconsin running back PJ Hill's primary backup. He's been suspended indefinitely until investigation completed and nothing is likely to come of this save a token suspension and hopefully a widely-held, dubiously-sourced opinion that Lance Smith has a freaky shoe fetish. Which he totally does.
