In 2006, Officer Smolenski was disciplined for engaging in an extramarital affair with an 18-year-old woman while on duty, sending sexually inappropriate emails, and using his position to intervene in a personal conflict involving the woman. He received a three-day suspension and six months’ probation. In 2021, he was charged with stalking his ex-girlfriend, leading to his termination from the department. The stalking charges were later dismissed in 2024, with the court ruling that his actions did not constitute criminal conduct.
