Smith Has Been in Trouble With the Law Before & Has Been Arrested Multiple Times
Smith has been arrested multiple times before his July 24 arrest. In September 2015, at the age of 15, Smith was arrested and charged with aggravated battery with a firearm and unlawful discharge of a firearm in connection with an incident that left a 17-year-old in the hospital. According to investigators at the time, WFTV9 reported, Smith accidentally shot the teenager.
In October 2018, Smith was pulled over by the Orlando Police Department for drag racing and arrested him after searching his car. He was booked on a few charges, including possession of a concealed weapon by a convicted delinquent, grand theft in the third degree and possession of fewer than 20 grams of marijuana, the Miami Herald reported.
The following year, in May 2019, Smith was again arrested on gun and drug charges, including possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute and illegal firearm possession. Earlier this year, in January 2020, Smith was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed firearm. The status of these multiple cases is unclear at this time.
