At the time of each incident, Smith intentionally assaulted the officer who had made contact with him with a mixture of bodily fluids.
The first incident, Smith assaulted the officer with a mixture of urine, feces and semen; the second spitting on an officer and the third offense the assault occurred once again with a mixture of urine and feces.
Smith has a lengthy criminal history and a lengthy history of causing disruptions at the ADC.

If found guilty on all three counts, Smith could more than double his initial sentence for failure to comply with sex offender registry reporting requirements and filing false paperwork.
