Jennifer Lopez?s rumoured new toy boy is also a bad boy racer

Casper Smart, 24, whose real-name is listed as Beau Paul Smart, has had numerous run-ins with the law since 2004.

Most of the charges have been minor motoring misdemeanors relating to either speeding or driving without a valid license and failures to appear in court.

In one case he was pulled over by cops for speeding on his motorbike at over 100mph.

But his most recent offence committed in February 2010 could potentially land him behind bars.

The charge relates to an ‘exhibition of speed’ a section of the law more commonly known as street or drag racing.

The dancer – who was rumoured to have met 42-year-old J-Lo in May - pled no contest to the charge in March after an initial not guilty plea.

His bail was set at $26,000 – and he is yet to be sentenced, according to the court records.

Smart is due in court to be sentenced by a judge in Los Angels January 5, 2012 and could face jail time as well as a stiff fine.

According to California law upon conviction he could be 'punished by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than 90 days, by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500), or by both that fine and imprisonment.'
