Couple Charged With Failing To Report A Death
July 22, 2015
Two Escambia County residents have been charged with failing to report a death. Instead, authorities say they took the man’s TV out of his trailer, literally over his dead body.
Kimberly Joyce Smith, 32, and her boyfriend, 47-year old Stevenson Antonio Holly, were both arrested this week with failing to report a death to the medical examiner.
According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Smith called her mother about 6 p.m. on May 26 and told her that her father was “cold” and dead inside his mobile home at a North Palafox Street trailer park. Deputies later determined that Smith and Holly were at the trailer about 3:00 that afternoon, when witnesses saw them removing a TV and other items from the trailer.
About noon the following day, Smith’s mother questioned whether she had called 911 to report the death, with Smith telling her “no” because she was scared, an arrest report states.
Investigators said Smith and Holly dropped cigarette ashes onto the deceased man’s head as they toted out items, and his head had a postmortem injury that was believed be from the TV being dropped on his head while it was being carried out of his trailer.
Smith was released from the Escambia County Jail on a pre-trial release bond; Holly was released on a $15,000 bond.
Editor’s note: A typographical error on Kimberly Smith’s age has been corrected. She is 32 years old.

Dropped the TV on him ?? This sounds like a made for TV movie…dang whats the world coming too ?
Sorry to say…. Society is filling up with these kind. gotta keep protection beside you at all times anymore!
@ Rick – WOW!!!!! I typed her name in the search and it brought up the article you are referring to. Talk about FACES OF METH!!!!!! She was so pretty. SMH
He was a wonderful father and man and that she took from him all her miserable life. I have known Bobby 12 years and talked to him almost everyday, and the heartache and worry he did over her was a shame and this is how she ends the relationship.
Im sure youve heard the saying Stealing a Penny Off Of A Dead Mans Eye. But never his TV.
I am sickened by this. I have no words to describe my feelings. This was a dear friend to me. There certainly has to be MORE. How could you do this???
I don’t care how drunk you were, how much dope you were on, or how mean he was to you as a child. You two are evil people, period.
I think the looks of sorrow and remorse on their faces tells a lot about their deepest human feelings and concern for others, especially the older persons.
Hopefully the real rest of the story will come out on these two ________ .
Sounds like a nice couple and wonderful neighbors.
Is this the same woman that was the subject of a missing woman article (North Escambia) from Jan 2014? Quite an appearance change if so.
Talk about “COLD”!
Bet your bottom dollar there will be MORE to this story than “discovered” him dead.
some of Escambia’s finest citizens……
