Looks like Mike Vick has a relative north of the border that's causing some trouble as well.
SURREY, British Columbia -- A member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders football team has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a B.C. woman and police revealed Friday he is HIV-positive.
Trevis Smith was arrested Friday morning in Regina and will be transferred to British Columbia to face the charge, Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a news release. RCMP said disclosing an accused criminal's medical status was unusual but felt a public warning about Smith's HIV-positive status was necessary.
Police said in a news release that anyone who may have had sexual contact with him and is concerned about exposure to HIV should immediately see their doctor or go to a clinic for testing, as well as contact police in relation to their investigation.
RCMP said its Surrey, B.C., detachment received a complaint a few months ago about an alleged sexual assault and after an investigation the Crown approved a charge of one count of aggravated sexual assault. Smith, 29, was arrested on a Canada-wide warrant.
He has played for the Roughriders, based in Regina, for the last seven seasons.
