Love Island’s Hannah Smith Arrested on Felony Charges, ‘Terroristic Threats’



Love Island USA star Hannah Smith was arrested on two felony charges after allegedly threatening and attempting to punch a police officer.

The incident occurred on Sept. 30, when the Charlotte native — who appeared on season 6 of the reality series — was escorted out of an Atlanta concert venue for being disorderly, according to police records, as reported by TMZ and The U.S. Sun.

After she exited the venue, a police officer attempted to help Smith into an Uber when she allegedly tried to punch them with a closed fist but did not make contact, the outlets reported. 

The officer proceeded to arrest the reality star, who then repeatedly attempted to kick them while handcuffed, per the outlets. As she was transported to jail, Smith also allegedly threatened to kill both the cop and the cop’s sister multiple times.

Smith quickly became a fan-favorite contestant in season 6 of Love Island USA but didn’t end up sticking around the villa for long.

After brief connections with both Kendall Washington and Hakeem White, she attempted to strike up a romance with another contestant, Miguel Harichi. After he chose to couple up with Olivia “Liv” Walker instead, Smith became the season’s first day-one girl to get dumped from the island.

Reflecting on her exit from the dating series with Today in June, Smith said that Harichi “was so flirty, and held everything to himself.”

“He didn’t let anybody know who he was choosing,” she told the outlet. “I was very shocked that he did choose Liv, like she was shocked herself … I did think maybe I had a chance, but obviously I thought wrong,” she added.

Also addressing her short-lived time coupled up with Washington, Smith told Today, “I’m actually very happy that me and Kendall did end up getting to meet each other and being paired up with each other because we had so much in common. With me and him, we were just like the goofy couple in the villa.”

“We had so much fun and I really got to know him,” she continued. “And I can honestly say Kendall is a great guy. He is so genuine. Even though we didn’t end up together and our connection didn’t last as long as I wanted it to, I have nothing bad to say about him.”

Love Island USA is now streaming in full on Peacock.
