Smith has been charged with multiple offenses, including reckless driving, unauthorized use of a vehicle, possession of a stolen vehicle, DUI, and other unrelated warrants. Furthermore, he is facing two felony charges for attempting to elude a police officer and failing to perform the duties of a driver.
