It's
official...all local charges against Thomas Smith have been dropped and
the investigation has been taken over by federal authorities. He's the
Emporium man who led police on a nearly month long manhunt after he allegedly tried to kidnap a bank employee
at gunpoint back in August.
He was arrested by local authorities earlier
this month and is being held in the Clinton county Jail. Smith has
pleaded innocent and jury selection for his trial is expected to begin
in November. He was indicted federally because
the alleged incident involved taking a motor vehicle by force and using a
fire arm during the commission of the crime.
