Registered Sex Offender Arrested For Battering Woman in Grace MarketPlace Computer Room
Registered sex offender Dominick Desmond Smith, 37, was arrested on Sunday and charged with battery by a repeat offender (dating violence).

After being tackled, the victim got up and Smith held her back from leaving the room. Smith continued to batter the victim while screaming at her. The incident was caught on camera.
