Additionally, the warrant alleged that Smith threatened to “commit a crime of violence.”
The official doc further noted that as she was being transported to Cobb County Adult Detention Centre, she purportedly threatened to kill the police officer and his sister. Emergency Medical Staff was also by the police’s side during the incident as the concert venue’s security team had reached out over the reality TV star “yelling and screaming” while “intoxicated.”
Smith allegedly also “punched the EMS staff member making contact on her right arm.” The report read, “The staff worker advised she did not want to press charges.”
The officer who arrested her said that she kept “yelling, cursing and dropping items out of her purse” while walking towards him. She tried to punch him. However, he intercepted the action, grabbed her arm and “put her on the ground and placed her under arrest.”
Even as she was on the ground, she supposedly attempted to kick the cop multiple times. The report highlighted that Hannah even acted as if “she was on a podcast or speaking to someone on her phone.”
After arriving at the jail, she refused to get out of the vehicle and compelled the officer to arrest the person in the passenger seat as well.” I advised to her that no one was in the front seat of the vehicle, however Smith still refused to exit the vehicle.”
Hannah Smith was released on October 1
The next day after her arrest, Smith was released from Cobb County Jail on a $8,000 bond. She has refrained from publicly commenting on the incident. Nonetheless, that hasn't stopped her from sharing her snaps on Instagram. A day ago, she posted a bombshell picture of herself wearing pink lingerie, before which another update showed her rocking a little black dress.
Court records suggest that she has been advised to “submit to random alcohol/drug tests at her own expense” in light of the incident. Her bond dictates her not to consume alcohol, marijuana or drugs.
