Smith Violates Probation With New Criminal ChargeHUNTERTOWN — The son of Kosciusko County Sheriff Jim Smith recently violated his terms of probation after a traffic stop in Allen County resulted in the discovery of drugs.
Zachary M.L. Smith, 20, of 1460 N. Ind. 5, Larwill, is charged with possession of a controlled substance, a Class A misdemeanor, in Allen County.
On April 15, Allen County police officers pulled over a vehicle in Huntertown. Smith was a passenger in the vehicle. Upon searching Smith’s person, officers found an object containing three blue “M-30” pills.
