See video of Sheriff Smith patrol stop here tonight


The Vindicator this evening will post the patrol car video of Columbiana County Sheriff David L. Smith, who was charged by an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper in Guernsey County.

The sheriff is charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, speeding and driving outside marked lanes on Interstate 70, apparently while heading home around 9:30 p.m. Thursday evening.

Smith told the state trooper who pulled him over that he was coming from a Buckeye State Sheriffs’ Association dinner in Columbus. The association had an event that day — but it wasn’t a dinner.
