"A judge in Albuquerque worked Friday to assure a former congressional candidate won't get out of jail.Gary Smith appeared to be arguing with Judge Daniel Ramczyk when he insisted he didn't violate his conditions of release, but the judge disagreed and declared him a danger to Janice Arnold-Jones.Smith, 65, wore an orange jumpsuit and was shackled at the wrists and ankles when he tried to explain himself.Ramczyk didn't buy it.\"It's a very simple condition: Stay away from these people. And you couldn't do it,\" Ramczyk said.\"I didn't understand. I thought no contact,\" Smith replied.\"You were outside their house,\" Ramczyk said.Smith's court appearance was for charges of violating his conditions of release after police accused him of slashing Arnold-Jones' tires. Just days later, he was arrested again on charges of stalking her.\"I realized we avoided something that could have been really tragic, because it was escalating,\" Albuquerque Police Department Detective Lorenzo Garcia said. \"I'm glad we stopped it when we did.\"Smith tried to get Ramczyk to give Arnold-Jones a message in court.\"I am of no danger. I have no intent,\" Smith said.\"I disagree,\" Ramczyk replied.\"He clearly needs assistance, and every time he talks, he makes it worse,\" Arnold-Jones said. \"I'm glad that\u00A0 the judge asked him to stop talking.\"Arnold-Jones said she doesn't believe Smith is harmless, and she fears for her safety.Ramczyk imposed a hefty bond to keep him in jail.\"As long as he is in custody, I feel we are much safer,\" Arnold-Jones said. \"I can get some sleep.\"A new warrant was also filed accusing Smith of another act against his former campaign manager, Rhead Story. He'll appear in court on those charges over the weekend. He also faces charges in Texas of slashing his neighbor's tire and threatening to burn down his house.Smith's bond was set at $150,000 -- cash only."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
