In the recording, Darryl Daniels tells investigators he had tried to break up with Cierra Smith, but several unsuccessful attempts didn't work. 'It's like the breakup never happened,' Daniels said.
As Daniels sat quietly with his defense attorneys, he was heard apologizing to FDLE investigators for the grief he caused his wife when he finally told her of the affair with Smith, which started in 2014 when she was a Jacksonville corrections officer and he was her chief.
"I felt like if I stopped that it could go south, as in a violent confrontation, a physical confrontation," Daniels said in the interview."... The fact that she just showed up out of the clear blue sky was cause for alarm." Daniels, 57, was arrested Aug. 13, 2020, following the year-long FDLE investigation. Those charges include destroying evidence and three more counts of knowingly giving false information to deputies, court documents said.
Based on the internal affairs investigation, then-Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams recommended Smith be fired that April.Wednesday jurors heard about the almost 2,000 text and voice messages that Daniels and Smith exchanged in the weeks before and leading up to her being taken into custody May 6 on the grounds of aggravated stalking and trespassing.
"The only reason I want to be the one who breaks the news is to stop it from going viral," Riddick read from Daniels' text message to Smith."If they [news media] tell it first, then it will take off. It will sting me, but I have to man up."
