Smith now faces seven new charges, including Possession of Controlled Substance - Schedule I/II Felony <2g, Obstructing Governmental Operations, Possession of Controlled Substance - Schedule VI Misdemeanor, Simultaneous Possession of Drugs and Firearms, Possession Of Firearm By Certain Persons,Possession of Methamphetamine <2gand Possession of Drug Paraphernalia - Ingest Meth/Cocaine. charges
