Casper Smart’s home has reportedly been raided by authorities after they learned of an alleged cannabis grow operation at his residence.
Smart, who dated Jennifer Lopez on off from 2011 to 2016, had his Los Angeles home searched by the police last week after they received a tip about an alleged cannabis grow operation, according to TMZ.
Police received a search warrant following the tip and served Smart with it the morning of December 23.
During the search, officers reportedly discovered a small-to-medium sized grow operation.
Casper, 37, was reportedly at the home with a woman at the time of the raid.
Casper was not taken into custody following the alleged discovery, and instead was cited by officers and released at the scene, according to the report.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office will now determine if Smart will be charged in the matter.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Smart for comment.
California state law allows adults 21 and older to cultivate up to six cannabis plants in or on the premises of their private residence, per the Los Angeles County Consumer & Business Affairs.
The plants are required to be in a locked area and cannot be visible to the public.
Casper isn’t letting the raid ruin his holidays, however, as he’s currently in Las Vegas, according to his Instagram Stories.
Casper grew to prominence back in 2011 after he began a romantic relationship with Jennifer, who is 18 years his senior.
They dated until 2016, with a brief split in 2014.
They led a glamorous, globetrotting life together and he’s spoken fondly about his time touring the world with JLo as one of her backup dancers during their relationship.

‘It was tiring, but very nice, to be able to, like, travel the entire world in six months, especially with someone you’re with, and you get to enjoy together,’ he remembered in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
He’s publicly spoken warmly of JLo since their split and even placed the blame for their split on himself.
He admitted he was not mature enough to be in a relationship with Jennifer, a mother of two.

‘I was very young and selfish,’ he admitted to Univision.
‘I thought I was ready for a relationship with a woman with kids and everything,’ he added of Jennifer, who has 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Casper’s dating history since their parting has included Bre Tiesi, who has since become one of the six mothers of Nick Cannon’s 12 children.
His latest Instagram post indicates he’s seeing a new woman.
Following their break-up, Jennifer moved on with Alex Rodriguez, whom she became engaged to in 2019 before ultimately splitting in 2021.
She went on to rekindle her romance with Ben Affleck, and married him in 2022. They are now divorcing.
