Smith subsequently confessed to the crime, telling police officers that he had gone to Bradford's apartment sometime after leaving the tavern.

Upon his return to the apartment, Bradford told him that she did not have the cocaine, and after further discussion about restitution, she offered to reimburse Smith by having sexual relations with him.

After engaging in sexual intercourse, the two argued in the living room, and according to Smith, Bradford threatened him with a kitchen knife.

Smith admitted that he stole two televisions and the stereo components from Bradford's apartment, but he claimed that they belonged to him.

He ended his account of this incident by telling the police that he dropped the knife in a river on the way to his mother's residence.
