Conner Smiths Charges Dropped in Fatal Accident

A misdemeanor charge against the country music singer Conner Smith related to the death of an elderly woman has been dropped.

Prosecutors with the Davidson County District Attorney's Office told TMZ on Thursday that they had withdrawn the misdemeanor citation in response to a request from the victim's family.

Smith, 25, had been hit with the charge for failure to yield resulting in a fatality after he hit and killed 77-year-old Dorothy Dobbins with his truck while she was in a crosswalk in June 2025.

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Smith and the Davidson County District Attorney's Office for comment.

In a statement to TMZ, Smith's attorney, Worrick G. Robinson, said: 'This devastating accident was a profound tragedy for the family of Dot Dobbins and the larger Germantown community. 

'Over the past several months, Conner has been grateful for the opportunity to get to know Dot’s family personally and be able to ,' Robinson continued. 'While he is grateful that this legal chapter has concluded, he will continue to steadfastly lift her family up in prayer.'

Smith was hit with the misdemeanor charge in July of last year, just weeks after hitting Dobbins.

In December, the country star opened up about the 'grief' and 'trauma' he had experienced ever since the fatal crash in an interview on The Upload with Brooke Taylor podcast.

Smith spoke of the 'darkness' that engulfed him during the difficult period following the deadly June 8 accident.
