Man Arrested: 6th OVI
A Middletown man will be back in court Wednesday afternoon (September 4th) after his 6th arrest for OVI over the past 20 years. 42 year old Darby Smith was arrested after an Ohio State Patrol trooper allegedly spotted him weaving between lanes, and stopping on the road on southbound Ohio-747 and Smith Road in West Chester late Friday night. He was arraigned in Area Three Court Tuesday, and a preliminary hearing was set for 1:30 Wednesday afternoon. Back in October of 2021, Smith was sentenced to 18 months in prison for his 5th OVI conviction, and his driver's license was suspended for 20 years.
