Charges on Glennis Smith

As the investigation unfolded, police said that “evidence revealed the presence of fentanyl in Smith-Floyd’s system,” alleging that “Smith had intentionally put fentanyl in Smith-Floyd’s food on two occasions without her I knew it.” The fatal dose occurred on January 12, police allege. The department added that the couple’s travel trailer, which was stored at a local self-storage facility, caught fire a few months after Smith-Floyd’s death. Police allege that Smith intentionally set the fire.

Detectives obtained an arrest warrant and located Smith in Elk Grove, taking him into custody on charges of murder, arson and insurance fraud, the statement said. The 48-year-old man is being held without bail, according to the department. It was not immediately clear if Smith pleaded guilty to the charges or retained an attorney. According to CBS News, court records show Smith was in prison for spousal rape committed during a previous marriage.

In a statement obtained by ABC 10, her family from Smith-Floyd said: “She did not deserve this. As a family, we are devastated by the loss of her. We miss her and our lives have been forever changed.” “Our family is grateful for the outpouring of love and support,” the family continued. “We also appreciate all the kind words, messages, and phone calls we’ve received from family, friends, and community members, and we will continue to need this support as we enter this next chapter.”
