Gooch-Blacksmith has previously been arrested twice for aggravated robbery in 2019. He was also a subject in NewsChannel 5 Investigates' "Broken" documentary, which detailed how some violent juvenile offenders commit new crimes when they are supposed to be under the supervision of the Tennessee Department of Children's Services.
