Gary Smith |
The
arrest comes days after Smith was arrested for allegedly slashing the tires
belonging to his former political rival, Janice Arnold-Jones. Smith was an
announced candidate for the Republican nomination to the U.S. House. He
lost to Arnold-Jones, a former state legislator, in the June primary, and she
was defeated by Democrat Michelle Lujan Grisham in the November election.
When
Smith was released on bond Saturday, the judge told him to stay away from
Arnold-Jones' home. But he showed up again. Smith doesn't deny he was
there. Garcia says the APD’s crisis-intervention team will likely be
doing a mental health evaluation on Smith.
In a strange twist, a police officer
also visited Smith's house earlier in the day -- after he'd called them --
claiming he'd been ripped off while selling electronic equipment on Craigslist.
