Smith was serving time on a domestic violence charge. He also had a warrant out of Cuyahoga County for felonious assault, in which he's accused of using a knife to assault a victim.
U.S. Marshal Peter Elliott said, “This fugitive was a top priority for the task force. Deputies and Task Force officers worked hard to locate this dangerous escapee and as usual, their hard work paid off.”
