DETROIT (WKZO) — There are two very different stories coming out about a weekend confrontation between State Senator Virgil Smith and his ex-wife.
She claims he greeted her at the door naked, beat her and then chased her with a shotgun as she made her escape, firing at her car as she drove away.
He claims she charged into his home, assaulted his girlfriend and then he did what he told police was the “the most stupid thing” he has ever done and fired the shotgun at her fleeing car.
Investigators say he didn’t just let off a blast and leave it at that, but unloaded ten rounds at the auto.
Senator Smith has been charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and malicious destruction of property, but more charges may be coming.
The prosecutor has sent the case back to investigators for more work.
