Regarding Mike Smith's involvement in an incident that occurred early April 1 in Hollywood, following are statements issued by the participants:
Georgia Ling, described as the victim in this incident, said, "Mike and I did indeed have a heavy argument but it saddens me the way things are being reported and the way it was handled by the police. At no point did I feel I was in danger, otherwise I would've called the police myself, which I did not. The police were called by others not present in the room who mistakenly perceived the argument to be something other than what it was. When the officers arrived I tried to assure them there was no real issue, but they proceeded to arrest Mike."
Mike Smith said, "Georgia is a friend of mine and we had a loud and heated dispute. That is all. At no time did I assault her. I am not guilty of the misdemeanour charged against me."The other members of the Trailer Park Boys and all staff stand behind Mike and look forward to the matter being resolved favourably.
