Woman Hospitalized After 'Domestic Related' Shooting at Safety Harbor Bar; Man in Custody
Deputies say Christopher Dodge Smith shot his girlfriend after an argument, then fled with their 5-year-old daughter before his arrest.
- Deputies arrested 40-year-old Christopher 'Dodge' Smith on Tuesday following a shooting outside Harbor Bar in Safety Harbor that left his 30-year-old girlfriend Jessica Antolini in critical condition.
- Investigators determined the incident occurred on Main Street after Smith and Antolini argued outside the business; Smith then fled with his child and dog while running over Antolini as he drove away.
- Witnesses placed multiple 911 calls describing the shooting and vehicle details, and dash cam video captured Smith surrendering to deputies after a pursuit, shouting "My daughter's in there."
- The Pinellas County Sheriff charged Smith with attempted murder in the first degree and child abuse; a judge denied bond on the attempted murder charge and ordered no contact with his daughter, now safe with family.
- As of Wednesday, Antolini remained in critical condition, and authorities noted Smith's charge may upgrade to murder if she dies; resident Quentin Mantilla said the violence was "so shocking" for Safety Harbor.
