McDavid Man Charged With Weapons Theft, Assaulting His Grandmother
May 23, 2017
A McDavid man has been charged with assaulting his grandmother and in connection with the theft of several firearms.
Dakota Forest Smith, 22, was charged with four counts of grand theft of a firearm, armed burglary, grand theft, aggravated assault, resisting without violence and possession of drug paraphernalia. He remained in the Escambia County Jail without bond.
The woman told deputies that her grandson had threatened to shoot her while holding a rifle in his hand at her Brown Road home. The grandson lives on the same property in a separate small apartment, according to an arrest report.
When deputies went to that apartment, Smith answered the door and then attempted to shut the door in a deputy’s face before running inside. The ECSO said deputies located Smith hiding inside a bathroom.
Deputies reported finding a bolt action rifle in plan view on a bed; the rifle matched the description and serial number of one stolen in a burglary last Friday. The rifle, boxes of ammunition and a crossbow were discovered, and the grandfather provided deputies a photo of four firearms on Smith’s bed on May 19 that matched the description of firearms stolen from an address on Fannie Road.
Smith provided information to deputies, which was redacted from an arrest report, that led to his arrest for burglary.
Deputies also found syringes and 78 pills believed to be trazodone in Smith’s possession, according to an arrest report.

I AGREE 100% fisherman.
These grandparents need to rethink being enablers and get him away from their house.
An ungrateful brat. This is probably the ones that have helped and loved him the most. Are drugs the only thing that matters. He needs a good butt whipping.
Thank God he didn’t get a bond. In my opinion, this is the results of parents not being allowed to discipline their children for fear of going to jail. I’m sure if his butt would have had a few spankings, he may, just may, have turned out to be a better person. I won’t call him a man, cause no man should ever harm a woman, especially his mother, or grandmother. I do hope, however, that this young man will see his evil ways and turn himself around and make something of the life that God has given him.
He would be in one of the local funeral homes if he had done that to my mother. Now for those who say good kid bad family life that’s bull. Yea I know I shouldn’t have said what I did but after awhile you get sick of hearing about people like him.. Grand son or not he would NEVER!!!!!!!! be allowed on my property again.
Wow, assaulting his grandmother, what a man. He needs to be tied to a tree and horse whipped. Looking at his record makes me think he has a very dim future if he doesn’t change.
