On Sunday, Smith broke his silence following the arrest and spoke out in a social media post.
“Happy to be home with my household full of “whys”. I’ll be able to tell my story someday soon. Until then…you guys just keep making it up as you go,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a family photo. “Character is revealed in chaos.”

Days after the July arrest, the Sarpy County District Attorney’s Office released a statement detailing the accusations against Smith.
“It is alleged that on July 26, 2026, the defendant was involved in an altercation with his wife at a bar in Gretna, Neb., during which he reportedly threatened to kill her if she did not get into his vehicle and go home with him,” the statement read. “He is further accused of grabbing and pushing her inside the vehicle.
“At one point, during the drive, she was able to exit the vehicle. The defendant allegedly continued making threats, demanding that she get back inside the vehicle. After arriving home, she again exited the vehicle. Investigators allege that the defendant attempted multiple times to use the vehicle to strike her. The defendant’s wife was able to get out of the way and avoid any physical harm.”
