Jennifer Lopezis the ex-boyfriend Casper Smart had an unexpected visitor at his home two days before Christmas … because TMZ has learned that cops showed up and searched the property.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that police received a tip that Smart was growing cannabis at his home in LA. They obtained a search warrant and served it just before 9 a.m. on December 23rd. We're told Casper and a woman were home at the time.
According to our sources, when officers searched the property, they found a small to medium-sized grow operation at the home.
Instead of taking Casper downtown, we're told officers cited him at the scene and released him. We're told the case will now be referred to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, which will decide whether to charge Smart.
As you know, Casper and Jennifer Lopez were together for five years since Lopez's divorce in 2011 Mark Anthony.
Lopez credited Smart with helping her recover from her divorce … and added that he was truly there for her. The two finally split in 2016… and following their breakup, there were reports that Smart's infidelity was responsible for the split's demise.
We have contacted Smart…no response yet.
