He was ordered to serve 50 days of an 11-month, 29-day sentence and must perform 40 hours public service work, pay $850 plus costs and lose his driver license for two years.He is charged after he had a near miss with McMinnville police officer Joseph Vanbommel near River Park Hospital. The officer said Smith was traveling east in the westbound lane, meaning he was on the wrong side of the road.“I had to swerve to avoid making contact with the Dodge Ram,” the officer recalled. “And I nearly hit another oncoming vehicle.”The policeman turned on his blue lights and tried to stop the suspect.
