Ex-candidate charged with stalking GOP rival

Felony count comes days after vandalism arrest

 

LBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – Former congressional candidate Gary Smith was arrested again Wednesday afternoon this time on felony stalking charges.

The arrest comes days after Smith was arrested for allegedly slashing the tires belonging to his former political rival, Janice Arnold-Jones.

Smith was an announced candidate for the Republican nomination to the U.S. House.  He lost to Arnold-Jones, a former state legislator, in the June primary, and she was defeated by Democrat Michelle Lujan Grisham in the November election.

When Smith was released on bond Saturday, the judge told him to stay away from Arnold-Jones’ home.

But he showed up again.

Smith doesn’t deny he was there.
