Summary
A Sarpy County judge authorized Anthony Smith to leave the U.S. from Sept. 27 to Oct. 3 for a professional sporting event in the Dominican Republic while he faces domestic violence charges.
Smith, a former UFC fighter based in Omaha, was arrested last month on charges of domestic assault and false imprisonment tied to an alleged incident at a Gretna bar.
Court documents say he threatened to kill the victim unless they got into his car and went home with him; the judge still denied his separate request to have contact with the victim.
Smith remains free on $45,000 bond and is scheduled to return to court on Sept. 21, days before the approved travel window.
