A man involved in a botched fugitive recovery operation in March 2014, in which he barged into the wrong home while armed, was sentenced Monday to 26 months in prison.

Kelso’s David Lee Smith, 31, pleaded guilty in September to first-degree burglary and second-degree assault.

Smith, along with Jason Stomps, forced their way into a Vancouver home in search of a fugitive while working for a bail bond company.

There, Smith and Jason Stomps brandished firearms and ordered two young men there to handcuff themselves. Three people were home at the time, and none of them was the fugitive.

Annette Waleske, the mother of two people in the house that day, said in court Monday that the incident shattered the sense of security she and her husband sought to create in their home. She also slammed the idea that it’s wrong for Smith and his partners to go to jail for “just doing their jobs.”
