Hannah Smith, 27, a former star from Love Island USA, is facing felony charges after her arrest in Atlanta in September 2024. The reality TV personality is accused of threatening a police officer and attempting to strike her during an altercation at a concert venue. The incident has raised significant attention, with Smith now facing serious legal consequences.

The Incident and Charges

Smith’s arrest occurred after she was removed from an Atlanta concert venue due to her "disorderly conduct," including yelling and screaming, as detailed in police reports. On Wednesday, January 15, Cobb County prosecutor Sonya Allen formally charged Smith with two felony counts: obstructing officers and making terroristic threats.

The charging document reveals that Smith allegedly hindered Officer Kayla Winkfield of the Cobb County Police Department by threatening to cause her harm. Specifically, Smith is accused of lunging at the officer and attempting to strike her with punches and kicks. The charges also include claims that Smith threatened to take Officer Winkfield's life with the intent to instil fear, which prosecutors have outlined in the legal documents.

Alcohol and Assault Allegations

According to police records, Smith was reportedly under the influence of alcohol when she left the concert venue. She is accused of striking an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) staff member on the right arm, although the staff member chose not to press charges.

The situation escalated when Smith allegedly attempted to strike a police officer who intervened to assist her. Despite her attempts, Smith did not succeed in making contact. Once subdued and placed on the ground, Smith allegedly attempted to kick the officer several times, but again, she failed to make contact.

Additional Threats During Transport

While being transported to jail, Smith reportedly made multiple threats, including threatening to kill both the officer and the officer’s sister. She was booked into jail around 11:45 p.m. local time, with a bond set at $8,000. Smith was released under strict bail conditions, which prohibit her from consuming alcohol, marijuana, or non-prescribed drugs. She is also required to undergo random drug testing to ensure compliance with these conditions.

A Brief Stint on Love Island USA

Smith is remembered by fans of Love Island USA for her brief appearance in season 6. Despite being highly regarded by viewers, her time in the villa was cut short as she was eliminated on the very first day, becoming the first female contestant to be sent home.
