Cousin Stabbing and Car Crash | Glasgow News

Arthur Smith walked into court with a three-year sentence for brutally stabbing his own cousin during a drunken, drug-fueled brawl in Airdrie — leaving the victim with a broken nose, five missing teeth, and eighteen stitches. The attack erupted when Smith pulled a knife from the kitchen and slashed his cousin while he sat in the living room; the victim fought back, then two others joined in, one smashing him with a bottle. Blood soaked the hallway and door, and the victim’s teeth were found scattered on the floor. Smith’s DNA was matched to a bloodied knife at the scene. He also faces six months for stealing a car and driving it dangerously while three times over the legal alcohol limit — crashing into multiple vehicles — and even joked it was “more coke than drink” when questioned. His defense argued mental health issues tied to substance abuse, and he now carries a five-year restraining order against his cousin.
