Personal Life
Smith married Virginia Donald, a University of Mississippi classmate, in 1987. They divorced in 1993 with no children.
In November 2000, Smith found himself the subject of the news, while he was in Florida covering the Florida ballot counting controversy. The St. Petersburg Times reported that he had been arrested on November 17 for aggravated battery with a motor vehicle after he allegedly hit a woman with his car during an argument over a parking space. According to the Tallahassee Democrat, on July 20, 2001, the charge "was reduced to misdemeanor battery" and dismissed after an out-of-court settlement in June 2001.

“Samuel Sewall, in a world of wigs,
Flouted opinion in his personal hair;
For foppery he gave not any figs,
But in his right and honor took the air.”

They pursued it with forks and hope;
They threatened its life with a railway-share
They charmed it with smiles and soap.”
