Jennifer Lopez's Ex Casper Smart Cited for Cannabis Grow Operation

Police searched the Los Angeles home of Casper Smart after a tip about marijuana cultivation, leading to a citation but no arrest.

Casper Smart, Jennifer Lopez's ex-boyfriend, had his Los Angeles home searched by police on December 23 after a tip about illegal marijuana cultivation.
Officers discovered a small to medium-sized cannabis grow operation on the property during the search.
Smart, 37, was cited at the scene and released without arrest; the case has been referred to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office for possible charges.
Smart, a dancer and choreographer, dated Lopez on and off for five years starting in 2011, with their relationship ending in 2016 due to reported infidelity.
California law treats marijuana possession and cultivation as misdemeanors, but illegal grow operations remain a focus for law enforcement in the state.
