Central KY man arrested, faces 26 charges in Fayette County for weapons, more
Local and federal authorities arrested a man in Lexington Monday, July 29 who was wanted for allegedly committing multiple crimes over the course of the past few months, according to the Lexington Police Department.
Lexington police, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Marshals Service and the FBI worked together to arrest Da’Mond Smith, 22, on Versailles Road. He faces several charges from multiple warrants, including first-degree wanton endangerment, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, third-degree terroristic threatening, first-degree criminal mischief, third-degree fleeing or evading police, fourth-degree assault and multiple drug-related counts.
In total, Smith faces 26 charges in Fayette County, according to police.
“The Lexington Police Department would like to thank the ATF, FBI, and US Marshals Service for their help with the investigation,” police said in a news release.
Police said Smith has other warrants from another county, as well. Court documents list his address as 109 Shelby Way in Nicholasville, which was the site of a “high-risk” operation where authorities attempted to serve an arrest warrant July 24.
Nicholasville police previously said the suspect they sought was not found at the home. Spokespeople for the police department and Marshals Service did not provide additional comment of clarify if they were looking for Smith.
Smith’s Fayette County charges stem from five separate incidents between February and April, according to court records. Smith is accused of threatening to shoot and kill his ex-girlfriend and her friends, assaulting his ex-girlfriend and shooting her car, running from police during a traffic stop and possessing marijuana.
Smith is being held at the Fayette County Detention Center on five bonds from the five cases, according to jail records. His bonds total $75,000.
Smith was also on parole for two previous robbery convictions from 2017 and 2020, according to records from the Kentucky Department of Corrections. He began his parole in November and it was scheduled to last more than three years.
It is unclear if Smith has an attorney at this time
