She didn't report the car as stolen (a felony), but under "unauthorized use" (a misdemeanor). When cops caught up with him in her driveway, two days later, he made some bad decisions. One of them resulted in him being shot in the leg, and nearly bleeding to death. He sped away, and crashed the car.
Officers provided first aid, in the form a tourniquet, and he survived.
Smith was treated at an area hospital and released Tuesday. He was charged with criminal attempt to commit capital murder, felony fleeing, second-degree battery and unauthorized use of a vehicle.
