“Love Island USA” star Hannah Smith has been arrested after allegedly threatening to kill a police officer. The 26-year-old reality star was charged with making terroristic threats and willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer for the September 30 incident outside Atlanta, according to police documents obtained by TMZ. Both charges are felonies. Smith was reportedly released from Cobb County Jail on $8,000 bond the following day.
The bottle server was allegedly acting disorderly at a concert venue in Atlanta when she was escorted out. An on-scene police officer tried to take her to an Uber, at which point she allegedly attempted to punch the officer. She was cuffed when authorities say she subsequently tried to kick the officer more than once.
Smith was arrested and while en route to jail repeatedly threatened to kill both the officer and their sister, says the outlet. Though she has posted multiple times on Instagram since September 30, Smith has yet to remark publicly on the arrest.

She appeared on season six of 'Love Island.'
Smith is best known to audiences from the sixth and most recent season of the US iteration of Love Island, which aired from mid-June to early July. During her short stint on the reality hit, she had a fling with Kendall Washington, though she was voted off the island on Day 10.
Washington, 27, then cozied up with 26-year-old Nicole Jacky until the finals, but they ultimately split.
The show’s fan base was rocked in August when fans learned that Molly Lae Hague and Tommy Fury, of the beloved UK predecessor, had ended their five-year relationship just three weeks after celebrating the anniversary of their July 2023 engagement.
BAFTA-winning Love Island debuted in the UK in 2015, with the American version taking this side of the pond by storm since 2019, airing first on CBS and now Peacock.
