Good news. Seven attacks. Seven.

Hemet police arrested two suspects, one a convicted felon, for seven violent attacks against the police agency that have put this small Riverside County city on edge for months, authorities announced Saturday.

Nicholas John Smit, 40, of Hemet, was charged with attempted murder of a police officer and building a potentially deadly booby trap and targeting law enforcement officers. Smit already faces charges for cultivating marijuana, the result of an earlier arrest made by Hemet police, said Chief Richard Dana.
Authorities discussed few details about the case. However, Dana said Smit made it clear that he didn’t like the police before invoking his right to remain silent.
