Former NM GOP Candidate Gary Smith accused of slashing over 54 tires

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE/CNN) - A former Congressional candidate from Albuquerque is accused of playing dirty politics.

He was caught on camera slashing his opponent's tires.

"This back one there's only one hole, which is not his norm. Normally he stabs them multiple times," said an unidentified woman.

Stabs 'em. That's what Janice Arnold-Jones and Rhead Story say former Congressional candidate Gary Smith has been doing.

Surveillance video led to Smith's arrest for slashing his former rival's tires on multiple occasions.

Just this weekend he was let out of jail but told away from Arnold-Jones, which makes what she claims happened even more disturbing.

"Sure enough I went and rewound the tape and there he was," said Arnold-Jones. www.ksdk.com/news/article/354994/28/Former-Congressional-candidate-accused-of-slashing-over-54-tires
