Catch of the day. A rare species of basement dwelling laundry hamper fish.
James “Jamie” Smitley
James “Jamie” Smitley was apprehended on March 15th at approximately 6 am at his residence located in Massillon Ohio. Mr. Smitley had jumped bail on the 7th after missing a court appearance in Massillon municipal court. Sly Bail Bonds agents found Mr. Smitley in the basement, which he fled to after agents entered the home. After 20 minutes of searching the cellar, Mr. Smitley was found cowering under a pile of cloth in a hamper. After being placed under arrest he was transported to the stark county jail where he was booked for bail jumping and misdemeanor theft. He remains in jail on $25,000 bond pending a pretrial hearing on April 5th. Clearly in addition to allegedly stealing a cell phone, Mr. Smitley was able to steal his own freedom with his cavalier disregard for the rules of the court.
