Unfortunately, this isn't the first time that there's been legal issues with the Smith County Constable's Office. This is actually the 3rd time in less than 6 months a Smith County Constable has had a run-in with the law.

In September, former Pct. 2 Constable Joshua Black was convicted of official oppression for offering illegal sexual favors instead of monetary payment for a supervised visit business he was running. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison for his crimes.
