Hannah Smith from Love Island USA faces criminal charges stemming from her September arrest in Atlanta after she threatened to kill a police officer.
The legal deets:
TMZ reported, “Cobb County prosecutors reviewed Hannah’s case and decided to formally charge her with two felonies.” Legal docs indicated she’s being charged with making “terroristic threats and willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer.”
Peacock’s reality TV personality was arrested at a concert venue in Atlanta last year. She was escorted out of the venue for being disorderly.
In the charging docs, prosecutors claim Hannah willfully obstructed police officer Kayla Winkfield by lunging at her and attempting to punch and kick her. Prosecutors also claim Hannah threatened to kill Officer Winkfield during her arrest.”
Later, she was released on bail after spending one night in jail. Hannah’s bail conditions include bans on alcohol and marijuana consumption. She has to submit to random tests for booze and drugs.
The scene of the crime:
A source close to the investigation claims “Hannah dragged race into her alleged threats, yelling at the cop, ‘Bitch. I can’t wait to kill you, you dumbass, ugly bitch. You’re f*cking fat, and they love us skinny bitches. You’re f*cking black, and I hate black bitches. I can’t wait to kill you and your sister, you dumbass bitch.'”
According to Hannah’s attorney, Mike Hawkins, “Hannah ordered a drink at the bar at The Roxy music venue with friends before a show, and later stepped away from her drink to take a photo with fans.”
Hawkins added, “Shortly thereafter she has no memory of the events that occurred during, or after the concert. Hannah is deeply troubled by these events. She regrets any actions she took that offended anyone, including law enforcement.”
