Fugitive wanted on drug charges captured in Evanston; left his wallet behind

A former Rock Springs man on the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office Most Wanted list was recently captured in Evanston. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that 38 year old Daniel Wayne Smart, Jr., was taken into custody by Officers Preston Sheets and Becky Landes of the Evanston Police Department on December 19th.






Back on August 9th, Sergeant Jubal Larimore of the Rock Springs Police Department responded to a report of two people messing around with vehicles' gas tanks. The two men fled on foot after being spotted in a vehicle and one dropped something, refusing orders to drop on the ground. Even though pepper spray was used on the man, he still fled into the desert.






Smart is charged with unlawful manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), felony-level possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), and interference with a peace officer. His preliminary hearing has been scheduled for January 2 in Circuit Court in Green River. He remains in custody at the Sweetwater County Detention Center in lieu of a $25,000 cash or surety bond.
