On his 2006 NPA website for the Florida Governor race, John Wayne Smith oddly enough declared his varied criminal record of arrests, and jail time.   

Below are notable excerpts from John Wayne Smith's 2006 NPA Governor Campaign website archived at: http://2006jwssite.url-site.com/

 Between 1976 and 1980 I was arrested numerous times for not having the proper permits from the state to operate taxicabs and buses.  I have never been an angel and claim my mistakes as well as my successes. I have been divorced 3 times, fathered 4 children, and raised many more.

I have been arrested for bigamy once (adjudication withheld-$502 in court cost.

My only other arrest has been for civil disobedience, too many times to tell. I spent 6 months in the Marion County Jail for refusing to buy a taxicab permit. I declared bankruptcy in 1978 and have over the years refused to pay some bills that I thought were unjust. I have made my share of mistakes and have tried to learn from all of them.
