DENISON, Tex. -- A mixed martial arts enthusiast wanted out of Bryan County for failing to register as a sex offender was arrested Monday in Denison, Texas, by the Bryan County Sheriff’s Department and U.S. Marshals.

Patrick Smith, 44, of Durant was charged earlier this month for failing to register as a sex offender, but this charge goes back to March when Smith attempted to elude police for speeding.

It turns out Smith was convicted in 1999 in Colorado for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old.

Bryan County Sheriff Bill Sturch says Smith is currently being held at the Bryan County Jail. The case could soon be turned over to federal authorities.

I hope he stays in jail this tiem. He is no good. He is a dead beat father a drugie, a conartist, among other choice words!! He doesnt pay his taxes or child support for how ever many kids he has. Not to mention that he is a washed up fighter! I know he is guilt, caue that is the kind of person that he is!! I unfortunalty have experienced him first hand.

If they treat him like the other athletes that get into trouble around here he'll be out of jail in weeks.

Mixed does not refer to his race. MMA-Mixed Martial Arts. You people got race on the brain.

I hope you arent serious about the mixed part. He's race isn't what they are refering to. But apparently his head has been beat on too much to be molesting young children.

Maybe the "mixed" part refers to his brain matter after one fight too many......otherwise how could you explain his constantly getting into trouble?
