SEVIERVILLE â A Knoxville man is heading to prison for 25 years after pleading guilty to firing at 10 Knox County Sheriffâs deputies who were closing in on his hotel room in Kodak.
Richard James Smith, 32, of Knoxville, was set to face a jury Wednesday on 10 counts of attempted murder. Instead, court officials said he accepted a plea agreement Tuesday afternoon in which he pleaded guilty to all 10 charges.
The 25-year, concurrent sentences were the maximum Smith could receive for the crime, Assistant District Attorney Ron Newcomb said.
âWe certainly appreciate the investigative work of the Sevierville Police Department and the assistance of TBI and the Sevier County Sheriffâs Department, as well as the cooperation of the KCSO and owners and staff of the Days Inn,â he said.

Faith Reeves still remembers the magical moment 18 years ago when her doting husband first cradled their newborn daughter in his arms.
After already welcoming two sons, the long-awaited birth of their first girl, Hope, was marked by celebration for the growing Queensland family.
But the once-beautiful memory is now a sickening reminder of the years of horrific sexual abuse that would befall Hope at the hands of her father Richard James Smith.
In Faith s mind, that loving first embrace will now forever be contrasted with the nauseating sight when she stumbled upon him 15 years later groping their baby girl s breast.
