Dubuque, IA (May 21, 2026) — Jamari Xavier Smith, a 23-year-old male, was arrested by Dubuque Deputies on a warrant at approximately 10:50 a.m. Thursday on two charges: Pretrial Supervision Violation (misdemeanor) and Pretrial Supervision Violation (felony). The arrest occurred at 770 Iowa Street, the Dubuque Law Enforcement Center.

Officer K. Patterson is listed as the arresting officer. Smith was booked into the Dubuque County Jail.

Arrest Details

The charges stem from alleged violations of court-ordered pretrial supervision conditions imposed in a prior case. Smith was arrested the previous day (May 20, 2026) on assault charges, which appears to be the underlying matter tied to this supervision.

Pretrial supervision allows defendants to remain in the community pending case resolution but requires compliance with rules such as reporting, curfews, no new offenses, and other restrictions. Violations can lead to new criminal charges.

Next Steps

Smith is presumed innocent until proven guilty. He will appear in Iowa District Court for Dubuque County for a hearing, where a judge will review the violations and decide on bond or detention. The charges may impact the underlying assault case.

This report is based on the public arrest record from May 21, 2026. Additional details are available through Iowa Courts Online or the Dubuque County Clerk of Court.
