URBANA – Felony charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and leaving the scene of an accident were filed this morning against University of Illinois basketball player Jamar Smith.

The 19-year-old sophomore from Peoria left the team last week in the wake of a crash late on Feb. 12 that left his fellow teammate Brian Carlwell, 19, of Maywood, severely injured with a concussion. Carlwell was hospitalized until Friday.
