ENNIS - Sgt. Jeff Smith was reportedly arrested by Midlothian police for
assaulting his wife last week, according to published news and incident reports.
Smith, who is still employed with Ennis PD, lives in Midlothian and was arrested
Friday, June 20.
Assault-family violence crimes, according to local defense attorneys, carry
heftier punishments for alleged suspects.
Chief John Erisman told the _Ennis Daily News_ Smith's workload would be
dispersed among other investigators pending the outcome of an internal
investigation.
