A Pee Dee man’s cross-country crime spree, which included the kidnapping and killing of a Florence County paramedic and a New Mexico State Police Officer, has been detailed in court documents filed recently. Jaremy Smith pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the death of Officer Justin Hare and faces a life sentence as part of a plea agreement. Smith also allegedly stole the paramedic’s car and drove west, ultimately killing Officer Hare during a traffic stop in New Mexico. After a violent confrontation, Smith fled on foot and was eventually apprehended in Albuquerque. The defense claims Smith has remorse for his actions but noted his tendency to grin in stressful situations, citing a possible mental health ailment. Smith’s sentencing is scheduled for April 21, where he will face a life sentence without parole in the federal prison system. The case has shocked both the local community and the nation, highlighting the need for justice and accountability in cases of violent crime.
