A local oncologist volunteered to treat Smith after Smith complained about waiting several months for an appointment at a VA clinic before information on Smith’s convictions for child molestation surfaced.
Smith served eight years in prison and was released in 2001. As a sex offender, he is required to keep law enforcement apprised of his current address.
He appeared before a judge who set his bond at $12,500. He’s charged with two counts of failing to register as a sexual offender, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison, and with violating a city sex offender ordinance.
